Pre match, Leicester v Liverpool: 26 Dec 19: KO 20:00 GMT

Away to a Leicester team playing well is a tricky tie. They'll be smarting after their recent loss, and I think they will go at us from the start. It's a "six-pointer" and all that nonsense. 

That said, we've not done too badly ourselves and the CWC win will only give us more confidence.

Just wish Fab was fit for us.

I would actually be ok with a draw myself. But fully expect us to go there and win it.

We currently need 100 points to guarantee the title assuming Leicester win out.
A draw would lower the bar to 98 points and put us one point closer to the target. However, we will also be two points worse off than if we win.
A win lowers the bar to 97 points and gets us 3 points nearer to the target.

I'd say a draw isn't a bad result. But a win would deffo put us in a stronger position. If you can win, go for it, and when you can't, a point isn't that bad.

doesn't matter who we play we always have a plan for the win. I actually expect a very confident team performance tonight these boys will feel 10 ft tall at the moment and Leicester did get a footballing lesson last timeout.

As far as LFC are concerned, I try to be a glass half full type.
Leicester have been on a run, against mainly mid or lower table sides. The one bit of quality they came up against, they were found out. We are even better than that, and our potent end also starting to find some cracking form.
0:2 win for me. Confident Jürgen will have the tactics to keep these at bay, but not convinced Rogers will have anything but the same old.
I need another perfect in the predictions as well 😁

Not overly confident about this game due to the fact we’ve struggled against them for a while now. Hopefully the defeat they had to City will have really knocked them.

Nullify Vardy and they will struggle to score. Easier said than done though, he’s in great form.

Not long now, come on reds

Agree fully on Fab. Maddison is key for them and he loves to get the ball and turn in that space between defence and midfield which Fab has proved so adept at screening. In his absence I assume Hendo will play there.

Will be a tough game and a close call. As a supporter I'd take a draw beforehand but Klopp and the team, as always, will just be thinking how to win. 3 points would be a massive step forward, but a draw is fine I think.

Bricking it for some reason but just keep thinking they gonna put thru balls through for Vardy but we have electric sprint machines in Gomez and VVD so should be able to cope. Will they cope with our attacks is the question. Comeonnnnnnnnnnn

I've had a gut feeling all week Sadio is gonna score 4.

Can't be a coach in the country that doesn't know we leave space down TAA's side and they nearly always target that side on the quick break. Having Joe lurking gives us a bit of cover. Everybody also knows Vardy plays off the 'bit'. We accept that risk with TAA. Done well enough so far.

if your not overly confident of a Liverpool win ask yourself would you bet against us. There isn't a team on the Planet who I wouldn't take on right now home or away this team has everything but above everything else a bloody determination rarely seen in any team to overcome whatever is put in front of them.

Exciting times mate feel like a kid every match day these days.

Beer is in the fridge, and can have a couple before the game, come on you mighty reds

What a treat of a match tonight, anyone else expecting a bunch of goals? 4-2 for me

                     Allison
       Trent Gomez Virgil Robbo
                     Henderson
              Milner              Gini
         Salah    Firmino     Mane

Bench;  Adrian,  Hoever,  Keita,
               Lallana, Shaqiri,  Origi, jones

Not ideal having Millie & Hendo together but if needs must ....massive part of the season and a massive challenge going to the King Power under strength,  so on this occasion our midfield needs to be solid, Gini gets the nod over Naby simply for his experience and energy,  usual suspects up top,

Leicester will come at us from the start so if we can soak up the pressure for the first 20 and not concede that will suit us just fine, I think we'll be using the counter attack and the ball over the top more ,

Despite Foxes endeavour if we get anywhere near our game we won't lose ,

1-2 Mighty Redmen

The opposite for me. I expect a low score with few chances for either side.

The slight danger is we are going to have a dip somewhere along the line. There's no question that we have been poor in patches but always pull something out of the bag. Probably won't happen today because our focus is razzor sharpe. The 2 next Premier league home games to Wolves and Sheff U are dangerous games.I'll be happy if we come through them and today without to much damage.

Walt - what would you say is our greatest vulnerability as a team just  now?

Hopefully Brendan overthinks this one. Klopp will not. Have to catch this one on replay so going on internet blackout for awhile. COYR

I think this will be one of the most entertaining matches of the season so far.

Allison
       Trent Gomez Virgil Robbo
                     Henderson
              Milner              Gini
         Salah    Firmino     Mane

This, except I think Keita will start ahead of Milner.

Milner and Hendo together is far to passive against Leicester, against them attack really is the best form of defence so I'd like Hendo, Keita and Gini, we must have some attacking drive form midfield otherwise I fear the forwards will get isolated in this game.

Please just win. And if we can do it as late and as stingy as possible I'll be even happier.

I'd love a deflected shot which crosses the line by 5millimiteres plz with a 5 minute var check.
