Liverpool has only 2 goals to conquer the peak of the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. Looking back on the last 5 matches, after losing Atletico 0-1 in the first leg in Spain, Liverpool won hard for the away team West Ham 3-2.
But they lost to Watford 0-3 in the English Premier League. The defeat continued in the FA Cup when J.Klopp’s teachers surrendered to Chelsea 2-0 away. Thankfully, a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, plus M.U defeated Man City 2-0 in the last 29 rounds.
It helps Liverpool to take the top spot and get closer to the Premier League title this season. Although playing more than the second team of Man City, the 25-point gap that Liverpool created is too big and it is difficult to level. As such, Liverpool can put all their strength to fight Atletico right at Anfield.
Learning from the 1-0 loss in the first leg, Liverpool will soon start. Because the lack of concentration right now the ball has let Saul open the score early in the fourth minute. And that is also the only table of the match.
The bad news is that the goalkeeper of the pillar Alisson is injured and most likely Adrian will catch. It is worrying that Adrian was erratic and made many mistakes in the 0-2 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup. However, coach J. Klopp still confidently said: “Unfortunately Alisson was injured. We think it is not a problem and maybe he will be on the bench”.
Must win 2-0 or with a difference of 2 goals, Liverpool will win tickets. Therefore, the trio of Mane – Firmino – M. Salah will endeavor to tear apart Atletico’s solid defense to reach the set goal.
On the other side, Atletico just struggled through 90 minutes at home and let Sevilla draw 2-2 in the chase. Currently, Simeone teachers and students fall to the 5th position with unbeaten circuit in every arena.
As the second team to have a solid defense in La Liga, Atletico will play counter-defense to face the opponent. The Morata-Felix duo in the classic 4-4-2 scheme will take advantage of the loophole to breach Liverpool’s defense. Most likely, the match will be solved by the game on the 11m mark.
