1. Pep will play more conservative again like last season because he is too afraid of Liverpool's attack and transition game. It worked well for them last season.
2. Pep would take a draw now and back his team to make up the 6 point gap in the long-term, like last season, which they most probably will. 9 points would be a game changer.
3. Going into December with a 9-point gap rather than 6 or 3 is a massive difference. We play smaller sides in Nov/Dec. City play Chelsea, United, Arsenal and Leicester in Nov/Dec. If we do our homework there, then the 9-point-lead could potentially grow into double digits before New Year.
4. We failed to beat City in the last 3 meetings and Klopp made the players watch City lift and celebrate the Community Shield. Sent out a message right there.
5. I think we must win on Sunday. If you want to win this League, you need to beat City.
