Big one. :popcorn:
Although Liverpool are depleted I still think they're very capable of raising their game for fixtures like this.
2-2.
0-3
Easy win.
Pure randomness. Liverpool might be up for it. We might turn up. We might not. WUMger could do something crazy, he might not. Klopp could do something crazy, he might not. Ref might have an agenda going in. This one could go any way.
Dodgy pen 1-0 win either way with both teams playing absolute shite for the 90.
Think we're going to drop points here, a draw in the grand scheme of things wouldn't be a bad result irrespective of their injuries, they still have a decent squad. 1-1 I reckon.
Liverpool are trying to make our injury crisis look like a paper cut. it is the sort of game where we win would really show our credentials, Liverpool have injury problems and struggle playing at home but are the sort of team who against the top teams do pretty well. But I fancy us 2-1 with a nervy last ten minutes after Liverpool score in the 80th.

They have so many key players out injured and haven't shown any kind of consistency so i expect us to get a draw at least.
They are LITERALLY the biggest game-raisers ever.
They'll be charging around and pressing like maniacs. But unless they score and blitz us early, they'll wear out.
I'd rather use our superior attack and take the game to their patched-up backline so the game is won quickly. But, as long their huff, puff and bluster is neutralised, we shouldn't lose.
Good game for us to give debuts to Hummels, Reus, Aubamayang and Gotze. Big test for them.
Nah but seriously, we're fucked.
With their injuries we should win this at a canter, we won't however we'll probably scrape a draw at best or Klopp will get one over Wenger.
Oh yeah, cos we don't have any injuries.
I wouldn't ever expect us to win at Anfield at a canter.

Joolio Craptista :bow:.
Aliadiadiadiadiiere :lol:
He was shit.
Lets hope this goes better than the last time we went to Anfield top of the league on BT Sport.
Two away games in a row.
We'll probably drop points in one of them, that's the way it goes for most clubs.
Aliadiere had everything in him to be a success at our club, just like Rosicky. Unfortunately both couldnt get out of the treatment room!
I think we will win. Up the goonies!
I bet you're all terrified now we have Caulker :trophy:
in recent seasons, the likes of Coutinho, Skrtel, Sturridge etc have performed very well against us and Liverpool will really miss them tomorrow. This is a massive opportunity for us to beat them and would take the pressure of the Stoke game. A loss tomorrow would make the Stoke game a must win and we know that wont happen given our record up there.
A win tomorrow and a draw at Stoke would be great and would keep us top of the table.
Yep I'd take 4 points from the next 2 games, it would be a very respectable return. Got my doubts about both games though TBH, think if we come out of these games with points it will really give the team belief.
I'm still scarred from the Southampton game, no idea why so many folks are confident about tomorrow given the pasting we got at Southampton.
They don't have an awful lot in their ranks to fear though...
I don't fear them, but am not overly confident of us winning either. To be honest if we hadn't got a mauling from Southampton the other week id be fairly confident too but that defeat made me really question the team.
I share the same opinion as MO though, the Stoke game is the one that I'm kind of fearing.
Rosicky is alive!
We are more than capable of scoring up there....in fact we often do and I don't see where their goals are coming from.
Service to Benteke is flawed and their creative nucleus is out.
But yes, 4 points from the next two is reasonable.
Stoke will be expansive which will suit Rosicky, and Sanchez when they attack.
You think Rosicky will play?
Not sure.
A part in the Stoke game......I hope!
Any Klopp side is going to go at you hard for the first half and hour, and try and win the game early - even with all their injuries, he'll still have his boys charging around, hunting our players down. If we can weather that initial onslaught though, I think we'll have to much for them - that way of playing is fucking draining, and if they haven't got a good lead by the time they start to tire, then they're gonna be in trouble...
Their midfield will absolutely be set up for industry and hard work....
The onslaught will take the form of crossing the ball to a bemused Benteke who'll probably want to take it on the ground anyway.
If we match their commitment I don't see how we will throw it away at least.
Quietly confident given the improvement in our defence this season, but we have been looking a bit shaky in MF lately, and Liverpool tend to play well against possession teams when they don't have the ball. Let's hope that we are patient, and don't play too far up the pitch - and wait to pick them off. They will look to hussle us for sure, and our precision passing game tends to falter when this happens. I'm going to call it 0-1.
We just have to ensure we don't wilt during the inevitable barrage. I do hate playing teams that press from the front because we're not really built to withstand that pressure, but I'm hopeful with their key players missing it's all just bluster and we can settle early and gain a foothold. We really need to chalk up some big away wins if we're going to win the league, we play most of the top sides away from home now.
The way Southampton played against us the other week is exactly how Liverpool play and we tend to struggle against the high pressing game. If you look at our biggest defeats over the last few seasons, teams that robbed the ball of us high up the pitch and scored early would usually hammer us. The Liverpool, City and Chelsea games two years ago, the Saints game recently and that loss to Dortmund last season where we were simply outrun and out fought.
Hollywood Ramsey really needs to keep his runs in check and stop abandoning our DM at the first opportunity!
Love that Pires goal, probably my favourite of his.
