Liverpool does actually scare me. They have their defense reinforced and that front three is amazing. If we go out with a draw, I won't be unhappy.
The problem with Liverpool is their pace. For all Otamendi's improvement, and all his fantastic play, he's still going to get left in the dust against Mané or Salah and our high line will give their midfielders a lot of room to aim for.
I do think we're a bit better prepared for that with Delph in the team and 433 vs. Mendy in a 352 - Delph's speed and deeper starting position should mean a lot more help for Nico, but it's still going to be a worry all game.
If we can stop that threat though, our midfeild will completely boss theirs, and they will still have dodgy defence even with VVD.
