Chance to take another step toward the big prize with a game against a team battling relegation. This time we are on the road and we have been duly reminded on Monday not to take anything for granted, even though we are 55 points ahead of these. I've given up on the fan base staying focused after the song they chose following the opening goal, but I trust Klopp and the playing staff to remain fully aware that all the teams we face can still pose a threat.
I expect just the one change for this one as Ox replaces Naby Keita. We'll play again a few days later in the FA Cup at Chelsea and that is when I expect Jürgen to make a lot of changes, maybe even 11.
Back to Saturday, the most notable record we can break is the one we just tied with Man City, for 18 successive league victories. Let's make it all our own with a 19th.
Of course three more points at Watford will keep us on track for an undefeated season, the earliest clinching of the title, the largest margin of a title victory and ultimately, the most points in a season (100 by Man City in 2017-18), but as Jürgen would say, we can only win one game on Saturday, so let's focus on that one.
