So, just looked and over the last 3 seasons our record is W3, D2, L1, even winning at theirs, plus a Community Shield by way of penalty’s.
Not too shabby really against a recent PL winner. Just hope our heads are in the right place after a busy week of travelling against some tough opposition.
If we play our best team and our legs last for the full match I expect us to win.
However, Dippers look like they are back on Klopp's secret recipe again. Especially Salah, the amount of energy he has this year compared to last is mind blowing. Mane as well but to a lesser extent.
Also, interested to see how VVD does chasing shadows. I wonder if he has lost some pace and mobility?
In fairness a fascinating game from many perspectives.
We know that they can be got at which has been shown when any team as actually tried to attack them. They’re quite open at the back where I don’t think they’re the best. They do have a superb attacking aspect that will challenge any team and it’s whether we can control the space with those long balls into them.
Always a tricky game as any other of the top teams away from home. Yes, we can win it but it’s going to take another Chelsea type performance to get the points.
