yeah it's funny because even the crap games on paper this week are actually half like even Wolves Bournemouth you'd probably look at and say that's the last one I'm going to look at but Wolves are in decent bit of form Bournemouth are good to watch or like Chelsea West Ham say which would be a nothing three o'clock Chelsea take care of business and suddenly West Ham are in some kind of form and are winning games yeah

Yeah, Villa, Brentford, two teams that like to play football the right way.

They're both so inconsistent and the fear factor of Anfield, it will come back, but it's not there currently.

Obviously, notwithstanding the European performance during the week, but they just need to find something quick.

You're even seeing a little bit of tetchiness from Arne Slott in his interviews as well.

He seems more off guard and unguarded with his comments that he kind of comes out with things that are clearly a little bit tetchy.

Van Dijk, I mean, his form has just been...

I know he's kind of become a beacon to point all the negativity towards but he does kind of defend with aura alone at times and he gets a little bit of hate on social media for it and maybe rightly so because of performances recently, particularly against Bournemouth.

But I don't know, they just need to find something.

During the week they looked like a team with a little bit of shackles off.

Chiesa obviously celebrates the sixth goal and there's a feel-good factor around Anfield but...

These are two teams that you can't trust.

And at the end of the season, this could be a key, key result.

And just on the draw thing, I guess sitting on the fence is a draw because the game starts as a draw.

If both teams just tipped off and sat on the pitch for 90 minutes, it would finish in a draw.

So it is technically sitting on the fence.

Every team looks at Leeds away at the start of the fixtures every year and pinpoints it as a tough game on paper.

If you're to make the argument for Arsenal, which seems a strange thing to say given they're top of the table, Keith Tracy, who is an Arsenal fan, very confident in off the ball breakfast this morning that Arsenal will get a result.
