Klopp will be hoping Fabinho & Thiago are ready for the weekend

RIP Ray Clemence. Outstanding goalkeeper and person.  I was gutted when he left in 1981 to move to Spurs. 

Given the rate of injuries Liverpool will be playing the u23s in a couple of weeks.

Was Robertson not suspended anyway?
Regardless, its an awful injury list of regular first teamers.
Hopefully Henderson is Ok, he is so important to Liverpool

I actually think it is a good thing Henderson and Robertson were withdrawn in the manner they were. They have all obviously been told if you feel anything whatsoever just come off/don't play while on International duty. It then makes it seem worse than it is, as you see them both been withdrawn 'injured' - when in fact it may well be just a precaution so they are 100% for Liverpool's next game. I'd be surprised if both don't start.

[Armamike]

Agreed. Seems more precautionary than anything.  Wouldn't be the first time players pulled out of friendlies.

Liverpool seem to have been 'managing' Henderson a bit lately anyway with regards to injury  so that would make sense

What's the story with Thiago. There isn't much being said about his injury or timeframe for returning.

Haven't heard much but I don't like the way it's rumbling on. Klopp had not ruled him out at first for the Sheff Utd game, which was only a week after that dirty fecker did him. That was 3 + weeks ago though and no real confirmation of what is happening.

[J70]

Last time Liverpool went this many home league games unbeaten, it was Leicester who ended the run in 1981.

Now we're looking at a makeshift defense, possibly playing a high line, with Jamie Vardy on the shoulder of the last defender.

What could go wrong?

[Armamike]

Henderson out for the weekend. Fabinho and Thiago are possibles - Klopp not ruling them in or out.  Badly need Fabinho back for this one and Thiago would be useful too.

[Capt Pat]

City have suffered a damaging defeat at Spurs. A big boost for Liverpool as I believe Liverpool and City will be competing for the league at the end of the season regardless of this weekends results.

[BennyCake]

City's title effort is gone. Pep will go before end of season.
