      Yeah yeah i know, but i think Foxes cant keep this tempo through the whole season, i think descend in their game will come sooner or later. Than again this is the same exact thought i had for the most part of the season when Leicester won PL.

      Yeah this. But if city beat them and we keep wining until then, the gap will be 11 points for both of them.
      That’s a healthy gap to me, whereas 8 is uncomfortable knowing we have to go there. More presure.
      Not suggesting we won’t beat them, but stranger things have happened.

      Get this won!! Like most BR teams, I bet they can be got at!

      We will need to play a bit better than we are at the moment, but the situation wont be lost on the lads in sure.

      Pretty sue City will despatch of them before we play them too. City way behind as of now bit perhaps they will get closer to us than Leicester by the end of it all.

      Best option of course. Drive a stake through the vampire's heart.

      To be 10, 12 or 13 points ahead with a game in hand (and 11 or more ahead of City with a game in hand)...well that is getting into some unbelievably strong territory re the title race.

      Has the new contract got Brendan's head!   A draw against City and the foxes still the better result for me, but now followed by a leicester win.

      As Thee current European and World club CHAMPIONS...I think as World Club Champions we have every chance. Any team would find it difficult to beat THE WORLDWIDE CLUB CHAMPIONS. Obviously it will be sell out.Their fans will want to see THE WORLDWIDE CLUB CHAMPIONS in action and it's great that they get to see THE WORLD CLUB CHAMPIONS in the flesh.

      So..Leicester 1 Liverpool 3....Sorry I meant WORLD CLUB CHAMPIONS LIVERPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL LLLLLLLLLLL...hahaaaaaa

      We are going to be on a massive high after last night, full of confidence. Leicester will be a tough match but we'll be too strong for them.

      Another 3 points against Leicester on Boxing day. Adding nicely to the three trophies, won this year.

      Huge game really. Win it and we're flying.

      Under no illusions how difficult this will be though. Another long flight and one of the toughest away games of the season, with a squad of players who must be desperate for a week off.

      100% I would take a draw right now. Not sure Jürgen would though. Man's a high roller.

      If we can get a win here we will knock them out of title race, it would be 8 points dropped in 3 games which is big. It just shows how high standards are for teams to fight and keep up with us that despite all those wins in the past couple months that a couple poor results than 8 point gaps turns to 15.

      Selection i will be looking forward to because we are going to rely on the squad over the period but does Klopp play all big guns this game or maybe rest a couple so we are not forced to play a weaken side vs Blades or Wolves.

      Leicester on their day when they are can be a very difficult game, especially away from home. Much like Citeh at home we need to be clinical early with our chances to build up lead then force them to go all put and hit them on counter.

      Line-up i think we will see pretty strong XI, really would hope Gini is fit as his fresh legs would do wonders for us and i would expect Milner back in the middle.

      -----------------Alisson------------------
      TAA-----Gomez----VvD----Robbo
      ------Milner----Hendo------Gini-----
      -----Salah------Firmino------Mane

      Subs: Adrian, Hoever,  Lallana, Ketia, Jones, Shaqiri, Origi

      It's a big game, big challenge. Say what yer like about Rodgers he has got them going. Made the right atmosphere/environment  for Vardy and others so we will need to be at or near our best.

      Losing to City knocked them back as Rodgers honestly admitted they are not at the top level. Is this the right game for TAA. We know he leaves space in down and around the right flank. We know Roadrunner Vardy licks his lips when he sees all...that...space. Do we need to encourage him?

      Could go Allison.Milner,Joe,VVD,Robbo
                              TAA,Hendo,Keita
                              Salah,Bobby,Sadio.

      TAA in right side midfield as the Ox might be out.

      I seriously doubt your going to see Trent anywhere but his normal position...gini will be back anyway.

      TBH I doubt it as well but Hendo played deep so we never know what Klopp's line up will be. Klopp is an outgoing person but he actually regarding his line up, he plays his cards close to his chest and he can surprise.

      Think we are better than them home & away. We can afford a draw even the 'D' word. But I think we have so much goal threat and one of the reasons we keep getting late goals is purely down to the quality we have.Having that extra bit of magic always gives you a chance even when tiredness comes into it.

      Near the end a lot of teams revert to punting, lumping it up there whereas we continue to create that little bit more, so I'm confident we can get the win.

      3 tricky ties for us and coming into a period of the year we always tend to find trouble around late December/January.

      If we can take 2 wins and a draw from this set of 3 I'll happily take that.
