Analysing Anfield: The new trick in Jurgen Klopp’s playbook | And do the numbers do Liverpool justice?

Jurgen Klopp shocked Liverpool supporters and perhaps Pep Guardiola too when he named Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota in his starting line-up for Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City. And, after giving their thoughts on the match itself, Josh Williams and David Hughes discuss whether Klopp’s bold 4-4-2/4-2-4 formation is one the Liverpool boss will use again. Our Analysing Anfield hosts then dig deep into the numbers of the game including a very interesting statistic about Kevin De Bruyne, who missed the chance to win it for City from the penalty spot. And, given the final international break of the year is now upon us, the second half of the podcast is all about the season so far, and whether the underlying numbers do justice to Liverpool and their to biggest title rivals, City. Josh and Dave also have a bit of fun and give their updated top-four and relegation predictions.
