Yep - although I can't say I'm particularly confident. I'd take a draw now to be honest.

Pre-season is over. Never known a more subdued, easy/no big game start to a season.
Our season starts this week!
Our first 2 games of the season were Chelsea and Arsenal!

They've actually won 7 in a row somehow, 5 straight in the league. I've seen their performances and they've not deserved to win them all, but they might actually be in the running for the top 4, which I did not see coming after our game against them.

They’re actually a decent side and our win there was a cracker when you see how they’ve done recently, but I think the last few years of Wenger has made me think they’re just another top half team these days.They've actually won 7 in a row somehow, 5 straight in the league.

He's in form play him.
The whole team were in form before we played them at Anfield both times last season. Need to try Mahrez/Bernardo rather than playing Sterling again.

Can't see us beating them, no proper left back against Salah. Would be delighted with a draw.
No way should we change the way we play. A change of shape maybe, however the attacking intent and focus on possession can never change.
Liverpool’s style will always threaten us, so you have to give them respect but they also have big weaknesses which we’ve got to expose. Salah and Mane are very poor defensively and if we’re brave enough we can outnumber them in central midfield and dominate the game.
Personally I would play 3-3-3-1, all out attack. Very similar to the first half of the Champions League home game.
Ederson
Walker, Otamendi, Laporte
B.Silva, Fernandinho, D.Silva
Mahrez, Sterling, Sane
Aguero (if fit)
* Mahrez and Sane as out and out wingers to pin their fullback back, meaning they have no width at all.
** Bernardo and David both playing slightly deeper to use their ability to keep possession when pressed and to give us numbers to prevent the counters through the middle.
*** Sterling to play behind Aguero and dropping back into midfield when needed but with the freedom to go straight at Van dijk and whoever else plays CB.

I don't understand what the whole team argument has to do with anything, he's one of our best attacking players, he's in form you don't drop him for Mahrez who is finding his feet or Silva who is better centrally!The whole team were in form before we played them at Anfield both times last season. Need to try Mahrez/Bernardo rather than playing Sterling again.
