Them winning last night will make sure we don't go in over confident. Never underestimate Liverpool at home. We should have enough with Haaland.

I can't see the scousers doing anything else than leak goals against us, this IMHO is going to be a procession for us and they are more than likely going into the game bricking it.

We don't normally agree on much, but I feel the same.

Liverpool are giving away so many chances to teams much worse than us, and the big man isn't going to miss them.

Lets not forget we beat them 5-0, 4-1 and 4-0 when they were at their peak. With the way they're playing? The injuries? The Henderson-Thiago midfield 2?

I just hope we see the Grealish-Haaland-Foden lineup again. Foden vs. Tsimikas is going to be a slaughter and if you could pick one player in the world to wind up Joe Gomez enough to get sent off it would be Grealish.

Agree mate, I can only see us losing if we beat ourselves. Maybe they will try to park the bus? Either way this is the best chance we have had in years to prove our dominance over them.

Is that because it's too long/short/green?

Dry

Akanji has been fantastic but I'm not so sure about shoehorning him at RB vs a quality player like Jota. Think it limits us a bit too much offensively as well.

Thought about this game a lot and you can make good arguments for both sides winning. When that happens it’s usually a draw. So that’s what I went for.

In terms of the likely result percentages fivethirtyeight and clubelo have it close too…
