Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will both agree that their teams’ upcoming match at Anfield will be a massive test – their biggest yet.
The Merseysiders have a 13-point lead (while still having a game in hand), and a win would mean that the gap could be reduced to seven points in two game weeks (eight to Arsenal).
Many fans will not be as confident as they were in previous seasons, but we must hope that a 7-1 win at Rangers represents genuine new dawn for the club.
Ahead of Alisson Becker in between the sticks, we’re backing Nathaniel Phillips to come in for Ibrahima Konate – who has been labeled a doubt for the Sky Blues’ visit – while Joe Gomez is pushed out wide to fill in for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Klopp will likely hold on to their 4-4-2, starting a midfield consisting of Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara with Mo Salah and Fabio Carvalho on the wings.
Up top, Darwin Nunez finds himself supported by in-form man Bobby Firmino.
EOTK’s predicted XI: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Phillips, Gomez, Fabinho, Thiago, Carvalho, Salah, Firmino, Nunez
