Is there a match thread for the City game anywhere?

Yeah Irish Nev started one. It should be somewhere in the list of threads.

Any team news?

Waaaay too early and I don't like seeing rumours this early as of late they have tended to turn out to be true.

Although today seems good so far. Nobody putting up tweets saying Alisson/Mane/Thiago/Fab is a doubt today, so maybe just maybe Klopp will have more first teamers than usual to pick from. Would be sweet if we had all the starters available save for the missing CBs.

Never get on the wrong side of the Irish Norbs......... we’ll put a curse on you

[Doc_Piptorious]

I have decided this is the starting XI

Alisson
TAA
Kabak
Davies
Robertson
Fabinho
Henderson
Thiago
Salah
Firmino
Mane


Is up to Klopp now whether he wants to pick the correct line up or one of his own based on his many years of being a world class manager.

Firmino
Mane

Assuming everyone is fit I think that is how we will go, I don't see us playing two new CBs as a pairing, but getting Henderson back into midfield will be big.

But will they all be?

And interested to know whether the general view is that Davies is ahead of Phillips?

Although it is just as key that the full backs threaten the wide players.

I find Philip's career to be almost fascinating. He turns 24 in five or six weeks time, but has only 29 first team games to his name including games played when on loan and only 7 of his 29 games were in the UK.

He is more or less at the age where young players are becoming or have become senior players, yet he has the sort of game tally you might expect from a promising 19 yo.

Kabak by contrast is 20 and has 77 senior club games to his name and 7 full caps for his country.
