A very hefty North London Derby takes top billing on what truly is a very Big Weekend indeed. Can Jurgen Klopp stir his players for one final push?
A very hefty North London Derby takes top billing on what truly is a very Big Weekend indeed. A lot of things are likely to be much clearer by Sunday night.Not really a game that needs embiggening, but you look at this particular renewal of the NLD and ask how much bigger it could be and the answer is none. None… more big.
Such is the mess their defending has become that the absence of Destiny Udogie to be replaced by the less exciting but also less error-prone Ben Davies may actually be for the best against Despite not being in Europe and having no cup runs to speak of, they’ve managed to find themselves with more games left to play than just about anyone. And despite having more games left to play than anyone, they’ve also managed to find themselves with two weeks off to stew on their latest horror show at Newcastle.
Since being really rather effectively shut down by Arsenal, they’ve won four Premier League games in a row by the following scorelines: 4-1, 4-2, 5-1 and 4-0. And yet… we still think there’s more to come from them. It is still in the round a season of overachievement even if the Klopp Farewell Quadruple has been downgraded to a Klopp Farewell Single, but the shift in expectations makes it inevitably and powerfully overwhelming.
But there remains a captivating and brilliant striker lurking there, and he has had a superb April. Having ended a five-month goal drought with a precious late equaliser at Newcastle he scored the vital winner against Burnley and another against Liverpool in the week. Last season was an almost total write-off, but in 2021/22 he scored three goals in the first three games of the season, two in the last three games of the season and nothing in between. Even in his very best season, 2020/21, he followed a run of 11 goals in his first 11 games of the Premier League season with a seven-game blank.
