Valuev will be opposed by WhoScored author Martin Laurence.
Martin:
“Both sides have scored in each of their last 8 competitive encounters, but I’m tempted to look deeper than that. I think both sides will look to come out of the blocks quickly, perhaps Liverpool in particular, so I’m backing both teams to score in the first half, which has come to pass in 5 of said 8 recent fixtures between these two.”
And here’s Nikolai’s piece in full:
“Liverpool have become a different team after Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho’s return. They’ve started playing with diversity and much more joy in attack. They’ve become better on flanks and actually show more traditional English football.”
