Liverpool love a false dawn this season. Beating Manchester United 7-0 is all well and good, but it looks odd if you then lose at Bournemouth – a team the Reds beat 9-0 at the start of the campaign.
The Reds gave another reminder of their inconsistency by following up that win over United by losing 1-0 on the south coast on Saturday as Philip Billing scored the only goal of the game.
Mohamed Salah missed a penalty in the second half, compounding Liverpool’s dejection ahead of a pivotal few weeks for the Anfield side.
Here’s the upcoming fixture list.
Liverpool‘s only remaining hope of winning a trophy this season is in the Champions League, and it’s a slim hope following their 5-2 defeat in the first leg against Real Madrid.
They’ve produced some stunning comebacks in the competition over the years, and winning by four goals at the Bernabeu would be right up there with the best of them.
This match won’t be quite as important as the ones the two sides have contested when battling it out for the title in recent years, but will still be crucial.
Manchester City are at a point where they can’t afford to drop points as they try to chase Arsenal down, while a victory for Liverpool would do their confidence as well as their top-four chances the world of good.
