Liverpoolâs form is the big worry, they look dead on their feet, the front 3 has been the key for Liverpool in the last two and a half seasons and they have played a serious amount of football in that time.
Salah has played 127 games for Liverpool and Roma in the past two and a bit seasons and probably another 20 odd for his country in that time.
Mane has played 104 games for Liverpool and probably another 20 odd for his country in that time.
Firminho has played 126 games for Liverpool and probably another 20 odd for his country in that time.
Thatâs an awful lot of games to be played and particularly with the intensity Liverpool play with from the front. They look frigged physically and they donât have much creativity in midfield. The only thing is they have been winning games while playing poorly this season but they look like they are struggling. I wouldnât say Firminoâs injury is too bad, might miss a game or two at most.
Cityâs run in is tougher but they generally are winning fairly comfortably and they know what it takes to win.
Cityâs run in is tougher but theyâre also fighting on three fronts from here on in.
Liverpool may only be fighting on one front come March 13th, it wouldnât necessarily be a positive in psychological terms for their league challenge to lose that, but it would be in physical terms, and they should be able to raise themselves for Fulham three days later even if they do lose to Bayern.
Liverpool need wins to stop the rot and they need two in the next week.
