Match Day Thread Vs Boro (H)

Liverpool are red hot favourites to secure a top four place but Jurgen Klopp says it's "silly" to take anything for granted ahead of the final day clash with Boro.

The Reds go into the game knowing a win against already relegated Boro will be enough to guarantee Champions League football at Anfield next season.

With the two clubs at opposite ends of the table and with in-form Liverpool having so much to play for, the home side are unsurprisingly big favourites - as short as 1/6 - to wrap up the season with three points against Steve Agnew's side.

But desperate to avoid any complacency setting in, Klopp has warned that Boro could prove dangerous opponents on Sunday and says it would be "silly" to assume the job is already done.

"We play Middlesbrough and it will be difficult," he told Sky Sports.

"They have nothing to lose while we have everything to win. I said in the dressing room immediately after (the 4-0 win at West Ham on Sunday), that we've known for weeks that we will have to go until the end, so that's no problem for us.

I couldn't agree more.

Also with the sentiment that we shouldn't count our eggs. We don't know that we will get 3 points. We frequently slip against theoretically lesser sides.

Favourites but not definite. Not yet.

People dismissing Boro like we've already got top four secured are being a bit dense. These are the teams we've lost to all bloody season ffs!

not at all. Top 4 guaranteed now. In fact probably top 3 too when city slip up

Arsenal should win handsomely against Underland.

That leaves Everton. I can't see Everyone being as motivated on final day with their position locked in, nowhere to move up or down.

The most likely thing is Arsenal get 6 points from the remaining fixtures. The pressure is on us to get 3 points or we won't have 4th.

Couldn't give a **** what Arsenal do. I do however, have a ingest in what Man City do as I want third

They've cracked it at last! The chicken DID come before the egg

  • It has been the ultimate philosophical and scientific mystery for centuries - until now, that is.

Scientists yesterday claimed to have cracked the riddle of whether the chicken or the egg came first.

The answer, they say, is the chicken. Researchers found that the formation of egg shells relies on a protein found only in a chicken's ovaries.

Scientists have discovered that eggs can only have been laid by chickens, thus solving the puzzle

Therefore, an egg can exist only if it has been inside a chicken.

The protein - called ovocledidin-17, or OC-17 - acts as a catalyst to speed up the development of the shell.

This hard shell is essential to house the yolk and its protective fluids while the chick develops inside.

Scientists from Sheffield and Warwick universities used a super computer to 'zoom in' on the formation of an egg.

The computer, called HECToR and based in Edinburgh, revealed that OC-17 is crucial in kick-starting crystallisation - the early stages of the creation of a shell.

The protein coverts calcium carbonate into calcite crystals which make up the shell.

Calcite crystals are found in numerous bones and shells but chickens form them quicker than any other species - creating six grams (0.2oz) of shell every 24 hours.

Dr Colin Freeman, from Sheffield University's Department of Engineering Materials, said: 'It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first.

'The protein had been identified before and it was linked to egg formation but by examining it closely we have been able to see how it controls the process.

'It's very interesting to find that different types of avian species seem to have a variation of the protein that does the same job.'

Professor John Harding, from the same department, said the discovery could have other uses.

'Understanding how chickens make egg shells is fascinating in itself but can also give clues towards designing new materials and processes,' he said.

'Nature has found innovative solutions that work for all kinds of problems in materials science and technology - we can learn a lot from them.'

The discovery was revealed in the paper Structural Control Of Crystal Nuclei By An Eggshell Protein
