    Six games in a row from us (all comps) where we have scored 3 or more. Very impressive.

    Hope Milner (assuming he plays) can cope with the pace on his side - he'll need some help but you'd trust Salah/Henderson/Fabinho/Matip to help out. Doubt we'll be scoring 3, but you'd certainly back us to score - so if we can keep relatively defensively solid we're in a good spot.

    Man City were very impressive against Chelsea it must be said.

    Chelsea played into their hands. You cant play 3/5/2 against a team that passes the ball as well has Mancity. You need some sort of threat going forward. and Lukaku got isolated.

    Is Trent ill or injured? Either way, he is ruled out this weekend.

    I fancy us to win. We're in good form and scoring goals, I just have a feeling for this one.

    Adductor/groin.

    Shouldn't take too long.

City will be smarting - we can't have Robbo clamming cup when he has a chance to shoot or simply failing to play in a ball we can use when attacking. We need to hit them where it hurts and Kostas will certainly do that.

    Klopp has a big decision
    Not seen all the games but in the games I have seen he seems a bit more likely to turn the ball over in a dumb manner.

    Robbo has been pretty amazing defensively and think the Greek boy needs a bit more time under his belt to be credited in the same manner.

    Think Robbo will start at the weekend and maybe Kostas gets other pl games and the games v athleti in the groups

    Rather have Bobby in there, keeps the ball and links up play better than Jota and we will need to keep the ball as much as possible on Sunday.

    I would rather have Jota. I think Firmino will get by passed like he usually does in these games. But either is fair. so we will see what Jurgen choses.
