I feel quite confident about this game. We’re going to be a bit of an unknown quantity, and whilst nobody wants to face Salah, Mane and Firmino, their back four won’t exactly be looking forward to facing our attack either. There is also a lot of hype around Liverpool, so they will be under pressure to deliver an emphatic performance and result. It’s the first game of the season too, which always throw up a couple of surprise results.

Think we’ll lose but reckon it’ll be 1-0 or 2-1 and we’ll have positives to work on.

Ok.... Multiple choice answer. Which is the best photo to answer Lukerz posting with?

Alisson
Clyne - Gomez - van Dijk - Robertson
Fabinho - Keita
Salah - Shaqiri - Mane
Firmino

Is their expected line-up for Sunday.

We're likely to go:

Arnautovic
Anderson - Antonio
Wilshere - Rice - Noble
Masuaku - Ogbonna - Balbuena - Fredericks
Fabianski

OutcastLondoner

Arnautovic in goal is a bold move

IronHerb

Just shows our attacking intent. ;biggrin

Attack is the best form of defence

I will love it if that is true. Love it...

Bazshuayi

I guess it would be typical of Arnie to mess about in goal for 5 minutes whilst training and then realize he was suddenly the best GK at the club too ;wahoo ;bowdown

Keep reading Liverpool will be resting players because of World - but didn’t see any evidence of that in pre season. I think It’s between Liverpool and City for the league this year. I would take a draw right now.

EXETERHAMMER

That Liverpool side looks fantastic. Let's hope we can leave Anfield without getting battered.

baracks_a_hammer

They also looked fantastic last season - however they still ended up finishing 6 points behind the much maligned Man Utd

Bazshuayi

With the players theyve brought in, their squads that much stronger than last season. Liverpool and City IMO head and shoulders in front of the others this season

baracks_a_hammer

We’ll see - things that appear good on paper very often don’t turn out so

Giant_Hammer

Well Klopp was moaning about injuries to his centre halfs the other day so maybe Arnie can take advantage.

Presuming of course that Arnie's not off somewhere ;pray
