To be fair we won in the cup with him starting.

 

I'd prefer not to see a repeat of that first half though.

Don't think he started in midfield. We did a lot of shuffling about before we got into the game. He was off the pitch as well when we won it.

Hmm , I don't see how Robertson can possibly be match fit after so long out . 

He was an unused sub against Fulham and came on in the last two games.  He's getting there.

[El Rojo]

Gomez to RB and Trent at midfield would be big changes to a winning formula. 
 

Keep them as LB and RB respectively. Elliott’s done well in big games in the past. 

[Scott_M]

Raging PMT today.

[Bobby Hundreds]

We've made these look good and like we are the side that's got lucky and scraped past the better team. At our best we murder Arsenal at their best I just hope we show up today and show the best version of ourselves because we deserve to be in this title race and Klopp deserves another title after having two stolen already.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Rumours are Dom is fit! I hope it's true the hairy bastard.

[3 Stacks]

I really don't want to see us draw this game. Go out there and either win or lose. You need to be very binary when you go up against City.

 

Saying that, I think a win is pretty unlikely here.

Call me old fashioned, but I’d reluctantly take the draw over a defeat.

 

I reckon we’ll win today. We probably need to. 

[Mook]

Aye, I'd quite happily take draws away to our main title rivals every season.

Let's hope so. The last game they bossed the midfield and we got the better of them by bypassing it. I'd like us to be able to beat them at what they think is the best part of their game.

I wouldnt what if its last game of the season away against one of our main rivals and if we take 3 points we win the league.

I don't think we need to win as this time round we have City at home and they also have to play Arsenal.

 

I'm a bit old fashioned too. If for whatever reason we can't win I'll take a point today.

Highly unlikely to be the case & clearly if it was, I wouldn't be happy to take a point.

 

Today & the away game at City, I'd be content enough with a draw.

Draws, even to the best teams, are false good results with City around. It's what we've mostly done for years against the other big teams and we always pay for it.

 

Per betting odds, a draw is the likeliest result and an Arsenal win is second likeliest over a Liverpool win. I'd agree with that.

 

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

You can't give City an inch. Play for the win and treat a draw as you would a loss. For the title I think this is a must win. We need to maintain a run. Start of the season the way we ended last I never thought for a second we would be doing this well, be really good if we could not only keep the dream alive but really start rolling.

[Jordy Brouwer]

I get Klopp's complaints about so many games. 

 

Seems like we just beat Chelsea and here we go again.

 

The players probably have a lot of minor injuries and pains that they have to play through. 

 

 

[Reckoner]

Time for Keita to step up.

Especially with how well Joe has done in two games vs Saka.

[an tha]

Alisson, TAA, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez, Mac Allister, Jones, Gravenberch, Diaz, Gakpo, Jota.

[Elite]

I'd sooner see Trent in midfield than Gravenberch, if Dom isn't fit.

Considering everything that's what I'd go with

[LFC 6 Times]

What’s the away boozer today?

[Smell The Glove]

Fucking gut punch that Dom news. And I'd prefer Nunez pace but we beat them with a far worse line up last time. We didn't even have Virgil.

[JohnnyH]

Everyone talking about how we beat them the last time seem to be conveniently ignoring that Arsenal could and probably should have been about 4-0 up at half time.
