Team News
Liverpool
Middlesbrough
- Liverpool need to win in order to secure a top four spot and Jurgen Klopp will play his strongest available team as a result.
- Jordan Henderson has an outside chance of playing but it would be a surprise to see him start on Sunday.
- Roberto Firmino is still a doubt and Klopp will need to decide whether to bring him back into the side at the expense of Daniel Sturridge or Divock Origi.
- Klopp is expected to stick with the 4-3-1-2 formation that saw Philippe Coutinho play as a No.8.
- Middlesbrough still have doubts over the fitness of Gaston Ramirez, Victor Valdes, Daniel Ayala and Adlène Guédioura for Sunday's trip to Anfield.
- Patrick Bamford may have earned another start here after scoring in their last match.
Are these comments serious? Surely Liverpool will win this! I'm gonna say 3-0, if they play like they did vs West Ham this will be a walk in the park for Liverpool. Liverpool will score and Boro's heads will drop which will lead to more goals. I'm a Boro fan and I've seen it a lot recently. I also think back to the reverse fixture when Liverpool won 3-0 at the Riverside. Boro were outplayed that day and they were still in the league, a relegated Boro surely will not be better, they'll be much worse
@SethTrollins just arsenal fans hatting
@edemex I didn't think about that, lol. No Champions League for them now!
Liverpool 2 - 0 Boro Tight nervy game for LFC but don't see them blowing their season in the final game. Would be hilarious though
Going with 2-0 because Firmino may be missing and his false 9 play is integral to producing a fluid Liverpool performance. They should still have enough to beat a dejected Boro team, but I have gone for a conservative score.
@SteveHyland flo...
Calum Chambers with a brace.
Coutinho scored, yes, but he lost the ball a lot of times, due to selfishness. For me, Wijnaldum was MOTM. A superb finish, and a great assist.
Coutinho your mission is done in this club
@A.r.m.e.n Still has to win league and ucl.
@RobbieFowler He said "in this club".
middlesbrough win 2-1 or 3-2
@ProGuess Are you delusional?
middlesbrough win 2-1 or 3-2
middlesbrough win 2-1 or 3-2
Liverpool have nothing that can trouble Chambers. 0-1 to Boro.
@What4 They beat them 3-0 earlier this season, mate
under 2.5 goals Liverpool 1 - 1 Boro
Who voted for Sadio Mane as MOTM? Lol!
@benjamin7797 me
I predict 3-0 Liverpool. I also think that this will be a very important match in the history of LFC!!!
