Predictions and match build up for the Scousers away . Sunday 4.30 . PL

[Stephen Paul]

No doubt the biggest game so far coming up this weekend

Beating them in their own back yard again will send out a message to the rest of the PL and pundits

[Stephen Paul]

3-1 City

[gavin]

I actually think that the Chelsea game was the biggest game of the season. Having lost to them three times on the bounce and slipping slightly behind after drawing with Southampton, it was important psychologically to beat them and catch up. We could have gone 6 points behind them, having lost to them 4 times on the trot! If we lose this we can go a max of 4 points off the top having played a few tough games already. It would be a blow to lose no doubt but I do think that Chelsea was the game that we had to win. I reckon a draw would be a decent result on Sunday, a win would be amazing, defeat would be bad but far from insurmountable mathematically or mentally.

Ye, it would be a hell of week domestically if we beat our two closest title contenders away so early on in the season.

Salah back on top form

As long as Sterling stays on the bench

[Neil Mcnab]

Cant wait for this. I expect a performance from Liverpool like we did against Chelsea. Some of our players must be shattered, Bernardo for one. I would be happy with a draw, 1-1.

I wonder what the last game was that we weren't favourites to win.

[Stephen Paul]

Draw most likely result. I’ll go

2. 2. Draw.

Would usually take a draw at the victims but we have the team to beat them providing the referee behaves himself

[Stephen Paul]

For me keep Sterling and Mahrez on the bench with Foden and KDB starting

[Neil Mcnab]

Watched ESPN pundit Steve Nicol hoping Sterling would play, which means he should not. He said he crumbles at Anfield from the crowd pressure. Therefore agree both him and Mahrez on the bench. Mahrez as others have said the one trick pony bit, he offers little defensive wise as well. Of course if both play and prove me wrong, happy days.

1. 3. City triumph at the home of the Klopp

Thanks, was secretly hoping I would be wrong and City would sneak a win (on the day we deserved a win even if we didn't get it thanks to the referee).
