Liverpool take on Chelsea at Anfield this weekend.
Two very inconsistent teams who will have had higher expectations going into the season and have been really, really poor by their standards.
I’m really hoping that because it’s at home, Liverpool can get the job done. I do still think it’s going to be tough, though. Chelsea on their day have superstars who can cause Liverpool danger, especially the likes of Joao Pedro, who scored a great goal against Forest in the last couple of minutes.
And as for Liverpool, there are rumours that Ibrahima Konate wasn’t in training on Wednesday, nor Florian Wirtz, and we don’t know whether Alexander Isak will be back.
We don’t know what’s happening with the goalkeepers on whether Alisson or Giorgi Mamardashvili will be back, or if Freddie Woodman’s got to play. So it could still be a heavily weakened Liverpool side who have to go into this game.
I’m really hoping that the crowd can get on board and with Liverpool stepping back on the ticket price increases, hopefully it means that the flags and banners can be out on The Kop and we can try and help the Reds get over the line.
Settling for top five is not what we should be doing at Liverpool, but that is all that’s left on the table and Liverpool desperately need to get Champions League football next season.
It is vital for the way that we work, our structure and how we buy and sell players. So it’s a big, big game.
It’s always great to beat Chelsea as well, who are a tough side and one we’ve had some battles with in the past.
I’m really hoping that Liverpool get the three points and hopefully all the results go our way so we can secure Champions League football in a very poor, mediocre season.
