Liverpool (8th)
Despite a start to the season that disappointed many hopeful fans, The Reds return to Anfield, after the pause in the league’s activities due to the Nation’s League break and the ceremonious passing of the Queen.
This season, they have been unbeaten at home, winning against AFC Bournemouth and Newscastle, while sharing spoils with Crystal Palace; picking nine (9) points out of the eighteen (18) available so far.
Jurgen Klopp’s side would be agitated to produce an undaunting win against a Robert De Zerbi’s side, They have two militating factors. Disappointed fans and a potential repeat of a home draw with Brighton, as they did last season. Regardless of a win, the reds would still lag horrendously behind the seagulls.
