Liverpool have simply won more games ugly with a lot of good luck and good defending. Our luck has reverted back to Peps first season when the opposition score with very few chances. I haven't seen the stats but I would guess we concede less GS opportunities per goals scored and I don't remember Alisson making many world class saves.

As always teams that keep their key players fit and in form tend to win the League, we have missed KDB big time.

This game is similar to the one we won v United when Kompany scored and we know the rest. If we can pull it back to 4 points then we will see if Liverpool can handle the pressure as they have no history of doing so when it comes to the crunch.

Happy new year to all blue mooners ! I agree with you, Mahrez tracks back and defends better than Sane. Playing Raheem and Sane together in this game will be suicidal given that both of them try always to take players on leaving us exposed to counter attacks if they lose the ball which has been happening more often than not lately; whereas, Mahrez tends to play it safe and does not attemp dribles unless necessary. I hope Mahrez starts as we can not afford to lose today.

Mahrez pulls out of every 50/50 tackle, and I’d say that in recent weeks sane has tracked back well.

Hope the players read Merson’s predictions for this game, it pissed me right off and I hope they shove it down the guys throat.

Amazes me how time changes. Few years back, before we won the league, Liverpool were supporting us over united. Now cant see that happen and for sure between City and Liverpool, united might rather hope that we win the league and gift their game nd do everything within their might to stop them from marching to the 19th.

Exciting times for Premiere League for no league is tougher than the BPL across the world and all the top 6 teams if they were anywhere else in Europe, would have been league champions of their respective leagues, including the bottling spurs and start stop gunners.

Your worse yourself getting wound up by Paul Merson...He's a complete and utter bellend, Same guy who said 'De Bruyne isn't worth the money City paid for him'.

F*ck him and his comments.

Five in midfield, Aguero up top.
Ederson should look to ping it to Serge every time!! Our nippy midfielders pick up the 2nd balls and create havoc.

Sane and Sterling have to start for me as we have to match their pace in wide areas.
