      Got a feeling Palace are going to hold City tomorrow. Expecting a 2-0 win for us. Will be a tight game i think.Feeling the same as most about the midfield, same as midweek. Not sure why but i have a feeling Klopp might pick Wijnaldum tomorrow, he usually does when he's looking for a workhorse performance from the midfield.

      Won’t do us fine if City are top then, they will be top whilst also having an extra game to play. That’s not ideal at all, we’d need them to drop points twice as opposed to once. It’s anything but fine.

      I’ve said for a while now that the game I can see City dropping points is against Palace...will soon find out.

      They’re pretty sh*te at home though

      Whatever the result of the City game tomorrow, if we can get past Chelsea we have a real chance of winning the remainder of our games and then we have a few live chances of City dropping points.

      Please beat Chelsea reds! Our record isn't great against them at Anfield three days. Nervy nights sleep ahead for me I think.

      Depending on what stats you look at it can fit the point you want to make i.e

      Shane Long Profile, News & Stats | Premier League
      https://www.premierleague.com/players/3206/Shane-Long/overview

      Daniel Sturridge Profile, News & Stats | Premier League
      https://www.premierleague.com/players/3154/Daniel-Sturridge/overview

      We all knew that Sturridge was a bit special so and played all long side some top talent where as Long only played in average teams  and still managed 51 goals in 289 apps vs Sturridge's  goals 76 in 216 apps... Both with 21 assists

      Imagine what Long could have done play for the like of City, Chelsea and Liverpool

      NB: Team no longer available

      I will be at a picnic :( Will only see the second half, hope by that time we already done the job!
      For Chelsea... I believe that when Klopp plays both Milner and Henderson in Midfield we look slow and cumbersome. It is not a good midfield pairing

      Plenty of motivation for this one.

      The wheels came off in 13/14 against them, we were looking good for a title. Only lost it by 2 points in the end - so that result was massive, in a bad way. Can't recall being so disappointed after a game since that one tbh. Awful result. Plus what happened with SG made it a day to forget.  We have a chance to bite back for that one on Sunday.

      And the thing with the Chavs fans and the Mo chant will add some extra fuel.  We can use all that.

      F***ing Hazard is playing well again, we know what he can do - for me we need to soften him up a bit and think Fab should start. Would also play Matip, don't like the idea of Lovren lunging in on the wee sh*te as he's making his runs. Dejan can get a bit anxious in big matches against top players.

      TAA might struggle defensively, his form going forward has been OK - playing Milner is an option instead. Not sure about that one though. TAA has more pace, and offers a lot more in attack. And don't want to get to defensive.

      Would probably go with:

                       Allison
          TAA Matip VVD Robbo
              Keita Hendo Fab
            Salah Firmino Mane

      Given who played last match, this is probably unlikely. Could see Gini/Milner come in. But I'd start that way.

      Nothing less than 3 points will do. Go out there to win, not contain.

      Running out of games, we don't want to be the ones to blink first. The Citeh game vs CP is no gimme. We need to be there...

      Not sure how Keita will cope with N'golo Kante has he is prone to the odd mistake here and there

      Well I fired up Fifa for the first time in a while and played tomorrow’s fixture, winning by that exact score line. That’s got to mean something. Salah, Firmino and a Henderson double. Put a £10 on it.

      I believe that is the way Klopp will play! Fabinho and Milner controlling and Henderson after Firmino pressing.

      Would love comfortable wins from now on mate. It’s too stressful the way it’s going right now.
