Southampton vs Burnley - 12:30pm

Liverpool is unbeatable all this time. I think that in this game they are going to lose points.
Champions League games are coming and I think that Klopp will start being more focused on those games, doing some rotation in the next Premier League games.

Champions League games are coming and I think that Klopp will start being more focused on those games, doing some rotation in the next Premier League games.

I seriously doubt Klopp will risk losing any points in the EPL this year.  There are three days between the match at Norwich and the match in Madrid, plenty of time for travel and rest.  This will be an easy victory for LFC, and they are hungry for the points and setting records.  If you're trying to convince yourself that taking the odds on Norwich is a smart move, nothing I say will stop you, but don't bet the rent money.

I kind of understand why people like premier league as much as they do and that is really good. However looking at the last winners of champions league for example, in the last 20 years, there has been 4 winners of champions league from premier league for example, whereas real Madrid alone won it 4 times in the last 6 years alone.

I am not saying premier league is not good or La Liga is better or anything like that, but maybe we are looking at premier league with a bit of recency bias and think they have always been this good. Unfortunately for many British people, British football wasn't always this good, it has times when it is great and it has times when it is not really that great. However if we look into Serie A that is even worse, they had 3 but last one was 09-10 Inter.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make or even why you're trying to make it, but this is a Premier League discussion thread, not a thread arguing that it's the best league in the world with the best teams and has always been that way. How many times have Real Madrid won their domestic league in the same time frame? Once I think. If you're looking at the past twenty years in the CL, three different English teams have won it compared to just the two from La Liga and as with the league it's usually always going to be between them two. I'm not going to argue which is a better league because it's completely subjective and I don't really have an answer anyway, but I think there's more competition in the PL than La Liga and with not as much of a gap between the top teams. Liverpool also got into the CL final in the previous tournament as well and maybe they'll start to dominate the domestic and Champion's League like Real did, but I don't think people should put too much emphasis on what nationality the clubs that are winning the Champions League are from and as if that's a barometer of the whole of the league. There's always going to be outliers, and of course some teams get the luck of the draw.

Depends. They can afford to lose points and the League is essentially already won, so he might sacrifice some games for a stronger team in the CL, but I don't think he should though. I think Liverpool only need to win five more games to clinch the league so maybe he can relax a bit after that. Going unbeaten in the league would be a huge achievement though and I hope he doesn't throw that away.

Norwich is not the team that can get points from Liverpool, but it will be hard to stay in this form till the end of Premier league season, bearing in mind that CL will be in final stage, still i do think that until the title is secured formally, Premier league is a top priority for LFC

No need to worry about it, actually it is very unfortunate if Liverpool lose their points. Because with a few more matches without defeat, then they will beat the record held by Chelsea. If even that loses later, not a serious problem, they remain victorious in the English league to become champions this season. And for Norwich, I'm sure Liverpool will handle it normally.

The EPL title is already a massive achievement for Liverpool, but their next target should be winning the CL (back-to-back), not becoming the new "The Invincibles". Going all-in on the unbeaten run (as in being afraid of dropping points so they field the best starting XI vs Norwich or any other team three days before a CL match) would look to me like Klopp & Co are being tryhards.

Aside from that, Liverpool doesn't have any free points to offer to Norwich. The target has always been to get all full 3 points. Winning the premier league is on top of our priority list at the moment and Norwich won't be able to stand it our way. This year, We're pushing limits. Regardless of the fact that we would face Athletico Madrid in the champions league, winning the premier league still remains on top of our priority list. But it doesn't mean we'll lose easily to Athletico Madrid though.

Which unbeaten record have they already equalled? is it of Chelsea or Nottingham Forest?
My thought is Liverpool is attempting to shoot for the moon trying to chase down that Arsenal record and even leave behind a better one. 22 points ahead, and they haven't even thought of relaxing any bit shows you the determination... The League is pretty much done. There is no way Liverpool can lose all those points without the chasing pack losing any.

Upcoming fixtures -

FRIDAY 14TH FEBRUARY
Wolves vs Leicester - 8pm

SATURDAY 15TH FEBRUARY
Southampton vs Burnley - 12:30pm
Norwich vs Liverpool - 5:30pm

SUNDAY 16TH FEBRUARY
Aston Villa vs Tottenham - 2pm
Arsenal vs Newcastle - 4:30pm

MONDAY 17TH FEBRUARY
Chelsea vs Man Utd - 8pm

The listed matches are one to be eager to watch with flair and excitement on the friday night.
Wolves will be a big challenge to leceister, and i can only go for both team to score to predict.

For southampton vs burnley, it could be boring because i see Soton thumping burnley out of the way with Ings scoring a goal or two.

Everyone would want to go for an out and out liverpool victory, but am wary about the small odds. Liverpool to score 1.5 is an even safer bet for me.

Sunday match is a bore one, i can assume a totenham draw with BTTS, while arsenal losing at home to newcastle is all i can see.

I don't literally like chelsea, but they have struggled against manchester in 7 matches, with 3 draws at stamford bridge, don't you think a Man utd win/draw would be fair ?

Lets enjoy the premier league and share your thoughts too.

This season surely belong to Liverpool I am sure they will beat Atletico Madrid as well because now they are not good as they was few years back even they are fighting hard in La Liga for next year Champions League spot against Getafe and Sevilla I am feeling Liverpool will go with Double this season without any big trouble.

Do not worry about Liverpool going forward because they will be fine just a few obstacles in the champions league because the opponents are very different from the major leagues.
But it was able to be overcome by Klop, if the UCL trophy is regained this season then this will be seen as a large and most ferocious team undefeated.
I expect Liverpool will get the trophy again.

And the good news from LFC is Their Striker Sadio Mane ready to play this saturday against Norwich also when Champion League against Atletico, so their chances are greater to win both matches.

Sadio Mane has bigger importance for Liverpool than Mo. Salah because he contributed more for the whole tactic operations than Salah. Another plus point for Mane is he is not selfish like Salah. People talked too much about the conflict of interests between Mane and Salah, that I disagree because the main cause came from Salah's selfishness.

Turning back to the point, on-post context, the good news for Mane's fitness condition is very good for Liverpool and sure if he can play at his best, Liverpool has good odds to win that match.

You are fueling the fire by doing it. They don't have any problem with each other and get along really well on and off the pitch. Even if there is a problem it has gone already. If you want to continue debating which one is more 'selfish' then bringing some stats would be better.

I suggest you add the stats for potential assists from both players, key passes, ball recoveries, etc that can show how a player contributes in defense and chance creation plus wasted chances from both of them.

I think that Salah is one of the key players that has led Liverpool to such success.In fact for me is the main player,the one who has contributed more than others in my opinion to Liverpool success without removing anything to all the other players.Of course other players have to give him assists so he can transform them to goals but overall I think he was the most important man for Liverpool during these last years.

When the match against Southampton alone, M.salah gave 2 goals for Liverpool that means it is still very much needed on the front lines like this M.salah and now has scored 14 goals I'm sure M.salah will pursue goals from Jamie Vardie who currently has 17 goals.
Liverpool are lucky to have a solid and strong player in their defense so no one can make up for their defense in the EPL.

A golden trophy will be presented to them if eventually they stay unbeaten in premier league,  it was given to Arsenal back then in 2003-04 Premier league season, it's a unique achievement if you ask me, it's worth playing his first team,  regardless of the club he's playing in the Epl,

Even if you are given a golden trophy this will be forgotten in two years.
The win of the title will be remembered neither the unbeaten record nor the number of the unbeaten games Liverpool endured. Not point for me to play with his first team, it is better to do some rotation and win the Champions League along with the premier league. This would be a bigger achievement.

Norwich got all 3 points from Manchester City guys,,, do not forget that. Football is round and any team that can play hard and take their chances can have an amazing day, especially when the opponents do not have an amazing day;)

Nothing is taken for granted and I am sure Klopp and Liverpool knows this.

Just this thing I was talking with someone here on face to face as no one will remember how you won margin of win nothing counts peoples will cound only win if Liverpool won double this could be rememberd after some years no one will count how many matches they won so Klop surely also thinking same he want to complete double instead of remaining unbeaten in EPL.
