Is by more than.... we can score any amount. Above 2 Anyway I think too many are making this a van gall out after thrashing game. This is made for van Gaals negative game and I think this game will be very very tight and Gerrez should figure a lay off bet for 0-0 ht. I can see us lose 1-0 #justkilledfanboyandburiedhiminback garden Lfc need to take the first chance, if a good chance goes a begging I can see us failing to score. Utd can dig in and scrap for sure and while I hope we see more of the positives out of arsenal game it requires an opponent who's not going to just bypass midfield and play physical stuff. West ham, Watford, newkie..... all games that show what we can see and frankly Utd have the quality to score the goals down the other end.
This. The classical game where going on the front foot in the first minute and scoring the first few chances is crucial. A loose midfield is what we don't want. If we score 1 or 2 then defend in depth, they won't score.
With long-tail option I think we have to play our game the whole way through..... felliani option will be big in this game.
The worry for us are the set plays. Mignolet has errors in him and our CBs are not the most mobile or reliable. If Rooney and Martial are on a good day, we could be in trouble. The other worry is our players being overwelmed by the occasion. Too much pressure and adrenaline could be detrimental. Last time Gerrard lost his head, hope everyone plays their natural game. A draw is IMO no good for either team but a defeat a huge setback. Only a win will do for both.

Lucas in for Ibe is the only change. Shame there's no Allen but still relieved that Benteke isn't starting.

In a way it's good Lucas is in, he's the only one in the squad who probably really understands the importance of the game, I'm half expecting a MOTM performance from him. #NoJinx
Team is functional... It's experience in for cooler heads I'd not be all that excited about that line up I think. If Klopp can get that lot to blow Utd away he will be a genius
