Liverpool are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Defender van Dijk got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.44/10. Dijk served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 4 duels.
A victory at home before that one, as expected. The team were solid favourites against Leicester City and won 3-1.
