Never seen a match like it. The aim is to kick the ball, not your opponent's legs. :lol:

They are big football rivals according to Google, so it's practically a derby match :)

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.
I believe Leeds will be more thankful that the game is postponed than Liverpool.

Bad news for Leicester though, as now Klopp has plenty of time to prepare another match against them, this time with absolute full strength team.

Good luck Peter, good to see you straight back in it today :)

Not sure what the stats say but from memory these types always get like just one goal in the 2nd half or something :D

Y, rare for lots of goals in the first to translate to the same in the second.
