If someone hastened to rank Liverpool to fighters for the championship after winning 4: 0 over Arsenal, then in the last round he got a serious reason to reconsider his views. "Reds" lost to Man City 0: 5 - and if before the removal of Sadio Manet, they were quite equal to the "townspeople", then without the Senegalese had no hope of success.
Plus for the team Jurgen Kloppa will return to the composition of Philippe Coutinho, who will replace Manet. And although, perhaps, Liverpool should not be so worried about the loss of Mane in the presence of the best player in the club in August and the best player of the Champions League tour - Mohamed Salah?.
Burnley started the season well - "burgundy" lost only 1 of 5 matches, gaining 4 points in the confrontations with Chelsea and Tottenham. The statistics of meetings speaks in favor of Liverpool, but last season the team of Sean Dajch already beat the "red". True, it happened on Terf Moore.
Where more than the statistics, the fans and the coaching staff of "burgundy" are concerned about the injury of goalkeeper Tom Chiton. England goalkeeper in the last round seriously injured his shoulder in the game with Crystal Palace and now can miss a few months. Pleases the return to the formation of midfielder Jeff Hendrick, but it is much less significant than the absence of Chiton.
