With four draws in their last six Premier League fixtures, Liverpool have no one to blame but themselves for letting Manchester City pass them at the top of the table. Yes, the Citizens are red hot right now, but having been in the league penthouse for multiple months, Jurgen Klopp’s men should have never let it come to this.
What will happen tomorrow? Will the Reds take care of business? Or will we hear more excuses (probably weather related again) from Klopp? This will know for sure- nothing less than all three points from this fixture is acceptable. Let’s take a look at who Klopp may start in the quest to obtain them.
