But while Liverpool's starting line-up was unfamiliar, the eventual outcome was not.
Today I read the top clubs want more games in the Champions League," said Klopp. I am not involved in these plans. That's absolute bollocks. When asked about the fixture congestion that sees his side play eight matches in four weeks in three competitions on two continents, he said: "We have to deal with it. Liverpool are competing in seven competitions this season and could play up to 67 games in 300 days if they go all the way in each of them - an average of a game every 4.
The visitors to Gresty Road this weekend is a Cheltenham Town side who are not to be overlooked as they have their own goals to chase.

The hosts are on 5th place at this moment in this youth league but really not that far away from the top 3 places at the same time they should be worried if they lose today against Ocotal U20 who are 6 points away with two games remaining to be played they can miss out on the play-off places, just that Juventus U20 is coming after a stunning 5-1 win at home against Real Madriz U20, while Ocotal lost last round 2-1 at home to Ferretti U20.

It is going to be very tough for Mourinho against his former side. Manchester United suddenly look like a team now, from front to back. I am expecting them to finish the season strongly. United do not concede many - they have kept eight clean sheets in their past 10 games - and are playing with purpose because they have a formation that really works. Lawro's prediction: 1-2MONDAY Everton v Liverpool (20:00)I am at this game for BBC Radio 5 Live and I would not be surprised if it ends up being played behind closed doors because of coronavirus fears.
As a club we would love to finish the job that we started all those months ago and try to win promotion on the pitch. We spoke to a number of clubs this week just to try and gauge opinion.

However, for those of you who back the correct score tips, the fact that Morecambe have scored in 78% of their away matches is a worry. When you factor in that Crewe have only kept two clean sheets at home, then keeping their visitors at bay appears unlikely. Considering that the hosts have one of the best offensive records in League Two, and Morecambe have lost three away games 3-1 this season, then backing another 3-1 home win is the option we are going with.
FIFA said that, since last year, it has clamped down on the practice of new clubs being formed "with the prime aim of avoiding players their overdue salaries.

Hassenhuttl will also get the chance to strengthen in January but he looks to have harnessed a superb spirit, a feat that looked unlikely after a 9-0 home defeat by Leicester just 10 games ago.

Chelsea face a trip to Arsenal on 29 December and then go to Brighton on 1 January.

Tottenham are in danger of missing out on the Champions League next season unless they can improve their form. Doing that while having some top players out injured isn't going to be easy and it's going to be another difficult weekend for them. Liverpool show no sign of losing a game and have a good recent record against Tottenham beating them 2-1 in the reverse fixture and of course in last year's Champions League final. Go for Liverpool to get the away win here.

Chelsea started better than us. They scored from a short corner and that disappoints me. We were not focused. The second goal is a bad goal to concede. The penalty is a penalty, good decision by VAR. The Son situation was handled badly. The ref has to book Rudiger and the reaction from Son is not an aggression. Does Rudiger have broken ribs going to the hospital? Other people call it intelligent by Rudiger.

Deloitte, which in April reported that the 98-year old association's accounts were not being properly kept, contravening two sections of Irish company law, noted in the 2018 accounts that it was unable to form an opinion on the truth and fairness of the financial statements.

All things considered, backing a home win to nil has captured our attention as far as the betting goes and is something we're more than happy to do. Roma have really tightened up defensively in recent matches and with Wolfsberger in wretched state, the threat they pose is expected to be minimal. Roma have scored exactly 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches and we fancy them to hit said total once again, with a 3-0 home win on the cards.
