Pre Match Liverpool v Leicester

[Miles Away]

A draw at Anfield has been an excellent result for the past 50 years or so. That would still be the case on Boxing Day.

Cheery as ever during the festive season.

Let's spank them and cause a real meltdown in Liverpool.

LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Liverpool will probably have to go back to basics - getting tackles in and squeezing the opposition. They didn't do that in the 3-0 defeat at Watford.

But because Liverpool are the underdogs - and because there will be a great Boxing Day atmosphere at Anfield - I'm going for a home win.

Brilliant.

I agree with the spanking but the meltdown has been going on for years. They love it. Miserable taffs.

Nice one Lawro

Milner is out too. I've a hunch that Sakho and Lovern will get spanked, they'll not be looking forward to this one, press them early and watch the mistakes!

Mignolet in apparently which is a shame.

Is Lovren fit? Milner being out is a problem for Liverpool too, they will have trouble trying to out-man our middle two without him covering on the wing.

Not much of one.

Milner being out is good news - he suits Klopp's style

It's only a shame in that they're replacing the shittest goalkeeper in the Premier League with the second shittest.

Mignolet has made more mistakes than led to goals than any other PL player over the past 3 years.

Whilst this may be true stats wise, I'm sure a lot of his errors were in the early days of him being there. He looks a much better keeper after his initial wobbles.

I see Lawro's predictions for the season so far currently has us 17th with 12 points! What a tosser!

This is one of those horrible backlash type fixtures. The Liverpool players will be going all guns to rectify the poor performance against Watford. On their day, the likes of coutinho and benteke are unplayable. 3-0 to the scousers.

 

[Matt_B]

They may win but I can't see us not scoring. They are awful at the back.

Spot on Micky

Well actually that was me being quite cheerful! A draw would undoubtedly be excellent- a win would be remarkable. I can't get my head around a Boxing Day fixture at Liverpool being a cinch. It is predictable and natural for fans to become deluded .....and absolutely fine just so long as it doesn't extend to the players. My head tells me 3-1 to the scousers; my heart says a 2-2 draw followed up by a lot of goals around with tired sides next Tuesday.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

It's not us being deluded at all. If we were away to a good team like Arsenal, ManCity, Spurs, Watford or Palace I'd be saying it was a tough game.

But this Liverpool side are very mediocre, especially at home. We've got to be favourites for this game.

What's deluded is to think that we'll lose to them just because they're the mighty Liverpool and we're little old Leicester. At this moment in time, we're better than them - we have better players, we know our best side and we have a system that really suits us - Liverpool have neither of those blessings.

I'm with Prof.

I'd be happy to get the same result as we did there on Boxing Day nineteen years ago. It wasn't a cinch; more of a battle IIRC - but we came close to winning it.

4-1 away win
