All eyes on the EFL cup tonight though, if Liverpool manage to beat Leicester I honestly think they have a great chance of progressing to the next round. But if they lose tonight then call me sceptical but I just can't see it happening.
WTF has religion got to do with Christmas?
I'd rather there wasn't any footie on Christmas Day. I've now got to resist the temptation of trading.
Wolves-Watford and Liverpool-Leeds are off for now sadly.
This solves the schedule issues for Klopp now, but then makes Robertson miss out on the Chelsea trip.
It's hard to read into Klopp's lineup selections, he consistently seems to field weaker than expected teams, it has almost become a habit of laying them early. Obviously for yesterday's match against Leicester the plan seemed to be to use academy players to stay in the game until HT and then use the increased amount of subs with the Anfield crowd to change the game if needed. Almost backfired as Leicester were extremely clinical on the day, with 2-3 real chances and 3 goals scored. So that meant the lineup against Leeds three days later would be near full strength, to ideally blow them away in the first half and then sub key players off so they can go again two days later against Leicester away.
