Should have been a red card for Mignolet and it is always the first big decision which proves the most important. The ref bottled it, despite the game not being at Anfield, and Liverpool end up with a fairly comfortable win. That certainly would not have been the case playing with 10 men for a whole half plus change in the first. My team get those decisions too, I'll admit, and you can't say Liverpool wouldn't have held on but these decisions matter and I'm not sure why referees are so useless in this country.
When can is playing, lfc defense feels more safe or he made look bad. But if naby keita was there instead of wijnaldum, the game would have been more controlled by lfc.
Did anyone see the news of liverpool unusual training exercise on daily mail they were training after dark under the floodlights jurgen klopp knows what he is doing he knows stoke are going to be dominant in the air so he is training his players to win aerial duels and under the floodlights in the dark because their match is at 8pm so getting them ready mentally and visually prepared to be ready for this match conditions. he is working on his teams weaknesses so maybe a liverpool win looks very likely.
stoke city aren't a team to take lightly they know how to break tough defences down they drew with 2 teams with tough defences man u 2-2 at home when man u had baily jones their best defenders playing and brighton away 2-2 so with a liverpool defence they surely should score but losing in the 90 minute against crystal palace will have effected their confidence am going with a 2-1 liverpool win or 2-2 draw but a both teams to score and over 2.5 goals looks likely too.
Liverpool xG in their last 4 games is the highest of any EPL team in that same period. they should win clearly here without even conceding. at least 3-0 should do
Stoke's head to head record against Liverpool is appalling to the point I can't even consider anything but a Liverpool win here. Even with their leaky defence they should see off Stoke in this encounter. Liverpool win.
@splint3r you can't compare a teams head to head score record that's 3 year (2015) old to now man you just can't the teams was completely different and the mangers maybe even the style of play that's like comparing the france of today to the france that won the world cup.
@Champion yes but previous encounters really count for nought, the only thing that can be considered is current form and squad strength. On those variables, Stoke are stronger in the air and a bigger side. Liverpool will have to keep the ball on the ground and out pass them which they should do. Only one thing's for certain; if Karius starts between the sticks then both teams will score. I think Liverpool will win 2:3 with the pessimist in me saying 2:2-hopefully the former.
Don't think Salah is not such a bad player after all.

@SteveHyland Ok, but why don't you mention Kompany in the Man City game?
Messi has a picture of Salah in his bedroom ��
Gucci Mane and MoSalah
Salah again? he cannot stop of scoring lol, good luck ♥
But mané seems better in the right side than the left
When mané is on your team, it seems like you can win against everbody
Jeeeeeeeez Salah again... heiiiiiiiii what's wrong with this guy kaiiiiiiiiiiii Salah again....
WTF is Salah? It's getting ridiculous now, such a goal threat. Bargain of the world, never mind England.

@Champion Appalling? Isn't this the team that humiliated them 6:1 in Gerrard's last match?

@splint3r Liverpool have won 5 of the last 6 in all competitions. It literally says in the preview. Stoke look clueless against them recently.

@daveco7 Stoke have poor form and historical h2h . This is the reason for prediction. Form of both sides too
