Liverpool, having defeated Brentford 3-0 at Anfield and capitalised on Manchester City’s mistake away to Chelsea, will be sitting second in the Premier League heading into the final international break of 2023.The Reds’ squad underwent a remarkable amount of suffering in Sunday’s match; in fact, after 74 minutes, they had already secured the victory. This gave the coaching staff the opportunity to make attacking substitutions, such introducing Luis DÃaz, who was met with a standing ovation from the whole stadium.
Diogo Jota’s goal and Salah’s brace were enough to send the supporters into jubilation as they anticipated completing the season atop the table. The next game they play, against Manchester City, the current Premier League leaders, will be played just a few days after the majority of their players—including Luis Diaz—play the second match on their FIFA fixture list. If they want that to happen, they will need to win.
The 13th round of fixtures will begin on Saturday, November 25 at the Etihad Stadium. Jürgen Klopp discussed the time of the match. Those who play in South America, namely Darwin Núñez of Uruguay, Alexis Mac Allister of Argentina, and Luis DÃaz of Colombia, whose matches are scheduled for November 21, would be the last to return, considering the events of September and October.
Klopp’s declaration
“Nobody will be thinking about the season’s beginning before to the match against Manchester City since our main priority is to prepare for this match. Then, no more, it’s alright,” he stated. The German is talking about discomfort because Liverpool can go to the top of the standings if they win that away game. It didn’t cross my mind, but they informed me. It’s November, yet it feels nice. The fact that we have comparable points to other teams is crucial because, let’s face it, we still can’t play flawless football—not even close. We battled through it, experiencing both happy and unhappy times,” he said in closing.
