It looks like good news on the Old Trafford front for Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho and with only long-term injury issues to deal with, the Dutch manager will be happy with the cards he’s been dealt.
With his team still in four competitions, we can expect fatigue to be something we can punish, but Jurgen Klopp will know better than anyone that the power of momentum can be even more influential than tired legs.
Fortunately, though, we have some of that on our side as well and we’ve recorded three wins in our last four league games and haven’t conceded a goal in any of those games, which has been a huge improvement on previous performances.
Let’s hope we can claim what would be a monumental three points, regardless of which team the opposition may field that day, and continue our march to the top four in the league and Champions League qualification for next campaign.
