Can see it being a game similar to last year at their place, although i dont think there will be a 3 goal winning margin, will be something a lot closer.

You are joking? Liverpool are not playing well at all as a team. They've had one good half all season and I fully expect us to beat them at Anfield.
The only games I'm concerned about are in the Champions League. I think we'll struggle in Napoli.

Only this.
If we win in Napoli can still win the group if we beat bayern at home 3-0.

Personally there are two things that concern me slightly.
The Napoli fixture which will be very tough and potentially crucial from a psychological point of view going out of the CHampions league at the group stages could dent our confidence.
The other is our reserve Centre backs, I have not seen much of Kolo this season and hope he could help out but Savic looks like he still very definately a work in progress rather than a reliable back up at the top level. I would not like to have to use him in the Chumps league or agaisnt tough premier league opposition.

Savic played against Villarreal
My thoughts exactly. All out for the league and to defend our FA CupSalford_Blue said:Wouldn't bat an eyelid if we lose in the Carling Cup thingy.
And I would gladly sacrifice the Chumps League, if it meant us maintaining the lead in the League.
This season, the League is the Grail, next year will be an repeat assault on the Chumps.
Lets just (fingers crossed!) get a title under our belts first.
