Arsenal Game played 29 Points 58 Goal difference 29 If we win the league the season is not a failure. Mikel Arteta latest mind game is that the league is not over yet. We must not take Everton for granted, and must take all the three points at Anfield. Everton 15th in the table and have no fear of relegation. Game: Liverpool v Everton. Date: Wednesday 2nd April Time:20:00 TV : Sky Sports. Referee is yet to be appointed for this game
Team for Everton Alisson. Will be back Friday from Brazil. No issue. Bradley. 50/50. Konate - France play the 23rd. 8 days rest. Vvd - as above 8 days rest. Robertson. As above. Need some physical presence. Gravenberch as above. Endo. Plays the 25th so long trip but start him. Szoboszlai again 8 days rest Gakpo as above. Salah 25th March so less time so sub him. Diaz. No nunez not jota from the start. If bradley is not fit then find a solution. Don't invert if you play quansah. Just let him be a rb. Lfc are about the only side who feel a left full could never play rb. Play tsimikas. Livaramento played lb covering hall Sunday. Just ****ing do it. Macca and jota and nunez and Elliott and jones can all be subs. Most players will be well rested and some.might not even play the two games
I honestly think we just need two, maybe three wins and the title is ours. I'm not expecting much from Arsenal... but it would truly suck if we bottled such a large lead. We'd never here the end of it. And no, I'm not doom-merchanting, I also think we'll be fine... I'll just be a little nervous until it's a statistical certainty.
Mikel Arteta knows the score already, he is hoping against hope regarding the title. I will be happy for Arsenal or Aston Villa to win the Champions league. The title is still for us to lose.
Just focus on this game. There will be no excuses after this. Everyone gets rest. Slot getd time on the training pitch. Deliver. Simples

I think when they get some sun on their backs and a few days off thry will creak a little less. But most of all even 5 full days training can reset some ideas. Most will have probably 8 days at home from the Sunday international. Give them 2 days off. Then train for 5 at the time of the game (7:30pm) We will then be into the run in proper and from the 6th of April there is one game every 6 or 7 days. There's really no excuse for "tired", no excuse for "burn out" and no excuse for not finishing the job well. What's done is done and forgotten. Next game is what we have to look to Train well and whoever trains best plays imo
A base case of Nigeria? Oh God. Seriously though it says he is injured so it must be bad enough that koeman wouldn't risk destroying him but OK that he travelled at all for assessment. Just play endo for the battle
So fitness watch. Gravenberch injury seems to have occurred after he travelled as lfc are saying they will assess it on his return (I presume now done) Trant is definitely out until end of April. Konate had to be subbed at half time for France v Spain. He is also injured now. Bradley is back for Everton MAYBE. Endo has qualified for the world cup with Japan Next games for European sides is Sunday giving a full 8 days before this game. This is a virtual mid-season break for anyone not going on internationals.
