This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Things should get interesting. by NDMike2001

You'd have to make Chelsea the favorites this weekend with Liverpool coming off such an emotional high and intense match.

That would mean that they have to play for 3 points in their last match against Brighton. Sure, it's a match they should win, but they won't have the luxury to rest players. On the other hand, a draw against Chelsea should seal the deal.

Meanwhile, the only options to rotate at midfield appear to be Moreno, Trent and Woodburn - none of which (save Trent) do I see Klopp willing to play against Chelsea.

Then of course there is Salah's chase for the Golden Boot.

Liverpool likely have two matches that they will be playing to win. And only Lovren and Trent are positions in which there wouldn't be a massive drop if either picked up even a short term injury! Yikes.

I just had a crazy thought. Liverpool could actually be playing the UCL final for their spot in next season's champion's league!
