      Similar to Newcastle some years earlier we learnt that you simply cannot rely on outscoring your opponents in every game, any title winning side must have a solid defence, which we now have :-)
      Still need to outscore your opponents to win  ;D

      Cant see many people worrying about injuries now just shows how well all the players are doing when called upon. No Joe Gomez or Joel Matip and no Ox possibly over £100 mil worth of talent not available to Jürgen but we are still strong.
      I reckon the only people who will not be nervous tonight are our players who have earned the right to be confident against any opponent.

      Am I the only one shItting it right now? I am a nervous wreck. Can't think straight (& I don't mean sexually). Can't do the work.

      I would take a draw now just to save my ticker which is pounding even now. I may not be able to bear it at the match time.

      Very difficult result to predict, I think a draw would be a very satisfactory result. Also think that there will be a few goals, in this game.

      No one would have imagined we'd be going into this game seven points clear of them, and six ahead of Spurs, we've surpassed expectations constantly this season and there's no reason to suggest that won't happen again tonight. We are out in the lead and the pressure is on City, and in my opinion a draw is not a good enough result for them.

      The fact we could lose this game and still be four points clear of them is indicative of just how good we've been so far.

      Gini, Hendo are nailed on to start due to their 'reduced' involvement in the Arse game. So, the 3rd slot is the one in question. Fab played 30mins vs Newcastle and the full game vs Arse. Jürgen suggested the vice captain is available for selection, which is probably why a lot here (myself included) think he'll start. Both Milly and Keita are coming back from minor injuries but Keita would definitely offer more penetration.

      Could we could play a 4-4-2 diamond with Firmino as #10 and Hendo at the base, Keita and Gini as the runners, esp if City start with a back-3?! Whatever it is, I'm just not able to focus at work right now !!!

      Their defence will always be a back 3. If they start with a back 4, LB is their weakest link. Target Delph, Zinchenko, whoever plays there.

      Klopp will think more about rotation for this, especially when the whole squads had 5 days rest. Any rotation will be in FA cup.

      Delph is suspended, right?

      I don't get involved in team selection talk very much, simply because I don't have all the information and I don't like guessing.

      What I do think will be important, no matter who plays, is someone sitting on Fernandinho and keeping him quiet.
      I mean right on top of him, don't give him a seconds rest.
      If we do that successfuly, we win imo

      My worry with Fab and Keita right now is ball security with turnovers leading to lightning MNC counter strikes.

      This is always a huge strategy fixture for the managers and Klopp chose to attack MNC last spring in the CL.
      LFC has ramped up their press game in recent games and I expect the front line to cause MNC's back line all kinds of problems.
      This is going to be an end to end classic

      Finishing shift a bit early to see this one.
      Shaq has been playing well - but for Shitty away, might not start. Though if he did, I'd not be worried.
      They are the ones under pressure - we just go out and do our thing.
      Need to watch DeBruyne, he can find gaps.
      Looking forward to a cracking game :)
