The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 15]

[Ructions]

Premier League teams will have one more day's rest in this year's festive period than they had in 2017, but will all still play four games in two weeks.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said last season the schedule would "kill players" after they faced Watford 48 hours after a New Year's Eve game.

There were no fixtures on 24, 25 and 29 December in 2017. This year 24, 25, 28 and 31 December have been left blank.

City will have had a day's less rest than Liverpool before the teams meet.

Their match at Etihad Stadium will now take place on 3 January at 20:00 GMT.

City's previous fixture at Southampton will kick off at 14:15 GMT on 30 December, a day after Liverpool host Arsenal at 17:30 GMT.

Will be a very sad day for the whole game if indeed it's true.

Fabinho putting pictures up on social media in his Monaco days. Guess he's getting pretty frustrated at his lack of involvement.

Is it not just a post about his ex manager who has gone ?

Salah is now returning to Liverpool. Could be a blessing as rest would do him better than another 16 hour return journey and another 90 mins.

I'd agree with that, Gini has probably been one of our best players, always does the difficult stuff in midfield.

It was a really well taken goal last night, I'd love Gini to get more goals this season.

Goalscoring-injury jinx?

Be interesting to see how serious these injuries are and whether they'll play against Huddersfield!

Virgil just his ribs, sounds like he just needs a proper rest
