ANFIELD CLASH Liverpool vs Cardiff City: Premier League match preview, team news, predicted line-ups plus more
Jurgen Klopp's men will be looking to keep up with leaders Manchester City but will have to be wary of a buoyant Cardiff, who secured their first Premier League win of the season last weekend
By Jackson Cole
26th October 2018, 3:18 pm
Liverpool can go top of the Premier League – for two days at least – with a victory over Cardiff City at Anfield on Saturday, kick-off 3pm.
The Reds are second and level on points with leaders Manchester City but the reigning champions do not play until Monday night away to Tottenham.
The Reds will be looking for three wins inside a week
However, Cardiff will not be a pushover and go into the game with added confidence having claimed their first win of the season at Fulham’s expense last weekend.
The visitors have also had longer to prepare for this game as Jurgen Klopp’s men were in Champions League action on Wednesday night – running out 4-0 winners against Red Star Belgrade .
What the managers are saying
Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool): “Cardiff deserve all our respect and they will get it.
“I’m really looking forward to meeting Neil Warnock, maybe not in the 90 minutes. He’s one of the most experienced managers in the world, and what he did in the past is unbelievable.”
Klopp insists Cardiff will get the respect they deserve
Neil Warnock (Cardiff): “It’s virtually impossible for any team [to beat Liverpool at Anfield] in the current game.
“I think the front three is probably the best in the world.
“We’ve all got to play at the top of our potential to give them a good game and hope they have an off day.”
Revealed: How Neil Warnock ALMOST signed Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk
Team news
The game has come too soon for Liverpool pair Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita, who are still recovering from hamstring injuries. The rest of the squad are fully fit other than Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster.
Josh Murphy picked up a knock in training while Harry Arter could also miss the game with an ankle injury
Meanwhile, Cardiff pair Harry Arter and Josh Murphy are fitness doubts for the Premier League trip to Liverpool.
Gary Madine could return to the squad after a virus, but Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (knee), Lee Peltier (shoulder) and Danny Ward (knee) remain sidelined as Joe Ralls serves the second game of a three-match ban.
Predicted line-ups
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Salah, Mane, Firmino
Cardiff: Etheridge, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett, Camarasa, Gunnarsson, Damour, Harris, Reid, Paterson

Sadio Mane starts and Fabinho returns to midfield for Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade at Anfield this evening.
Mane is deemed fit to begin the contest having missed the weekend win at Huddersfield Town due to a hand injury and is one of five changes made by Jürgen Klopp.
Roberto Firmino is also restored to attack to join Mohamed Salah, while Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum are named in midfield alongside Xherdan Shaqiri.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in defence in place of Dejan Lovren.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged his side to go on the front foot against Red Star
Liverpool know that nothing less than three points will do when they take on Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Jurgen Klopp's side head into the Group C clash at Anfield sitting second in the table after two games, a point behind leaders Napoli, who they lost to last time out.
However, with the Italians now facing back-to-back fixtures against Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain - who sit level on points with Liverpool - Klopp knows his team cannot afford any slip-ups against Red Star if they wish to progress to the knockout phase of the competition.
Jurgen Klopp praises Liverpool's 'brilliant' start to the season but says there is still room for improvement after riding their luck at Huddersfield
"The first job we have is to win football games," said Klopp. "We compare always with the good games of last season, never the average ones.
"All the games we won [this season] we probably deserved to win. And when we lost to Napoli, we deserved to lose. We have to perform.
"Of course we can do a lot of things better than we did so far. But the basis we have created is pretty good, football-wise and point-wise. Now we have to build on it.
Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita will miss Liverpool's game against Red Star Belgrade with injury
Despite a 26-year absence from Europe's premier club competition, Klopp is still expecting a tough examination from the Serbian champions.
"Red Star are the team of Serbia, and made it really difficult for Napoli," said the German. "And for PSG, even if the score wouldn't make you think so."
"When we have the ball, we have to attack with all that we have."
Team news
Sadio Mane is set to return after declaring himself fully recovered from the broken thumb he sustained on international duty, while midfielder James Milner is in contention despite being substituted in Saturday's 1-0 win at Huddersfield with a tight hamstring.
Sadio Mane is set to return for Liverpool's game with Red Star
Fellow midfielders Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita have been ruled out with hamstring problems though.
Meanwhile, Red Star boss Vladan Milojevic is missing key winger Marko Marin after the former Chelsea player failed to recover from the injury that saw him miss the club's 3-1 win over Rad Beograd in the league on Saturday.
The visitors will also be without left-back Milan Rodic and midfielder Jonathan Cafu, who is on loan from Bordeaux, at Anfield.
Naby Keita - who misses Wednesday's game with injury - says he is honoured to wear the number eight shirt made famous by former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard

Highlights from Liverpool's 1-0 win at Huddersfield in the Premier League
Charlie's prediction
This is a nice head-to-head scenario for Liverpool.
These teams can be awkward and Liverpool have not been firing but it's still been a great start to the league. Mohamed Salah got his goal at the weekend, which is important. Daniel Sturridge got a game and Fabinho got 20 minutes, so there's competition for places there and I can't see anything other than them winning comfortably.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Huddersfield Vs Liverpool (0 - 1) On 20th October 2018 by luvola(op): 4:54pm On Oct 20, 2018
Jurgen Klopp has named a mixed side for Liverpool’s return to domestic action as they take on Huddersfield Town in a 5.30pm kickoff (BST) this evening.
The Reds went into the international break having failed to win in four games, but were buoyed by a battling 0-0 draw with Man City to keep them level at the top of the Premier League .
Injury problems pervaded the interval, with four players leaving their national teams early to undergo rehabilitation at Melwood.
This clearly informs Klopp’s starting lineup at the John Smith’s Stadium, though Liverpool are certainly still in excellent shape as they look to extend their unbeaten league run to nine games.
Alisson starts in goal, after keeping a clean sheet for Brazil against Argentina on Tuesday, hoping to maintain his brilliant record so far between the sticks.
Ahead of the 26-year-old in defence are Joe Gomez , Dejan Lovren , Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson .
In midfield, Jordan Henderson is poised to marshal the ranks in the deep-lying role, flanked by James Milner and the returning Adam Lallana .
And with Sadio Mane suffering a thumb injury and
Roberto Firmino rested, Mohamed Salah , Xherdan Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge line up in attack.
Among Klopp’s substitutes are Firmino, Gini Wijnaldum and Divock Origi , ensuring the manager a variety of options as he looks to get another one over his best man, David Wagner.
Origi is in the matchday squad for the first time since the 1-0 victory at home to Crystal Palace in August of last year.

TEAM NEWS
Huddersfield pair Philip Billing and Isaac Mbenza should be available after ankle and knee injuries respectively.
The Terriers remain without injured trio Tommy Smith, Terrence Kongolo and Danny Williams.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane picked up injuries on international duty and will be assessed.
James Milner and Naby Keita are definitely ruled out because of hamstring problems.
Liverpool's Mane has hand surgery
No space for Nations League - Klopp
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Jonathan Pearce: In Rijeka's eerie silence, Jordan Henderson was England's loudest player. Liverpool will need that leadership as they go into three must-win games counting the cost of an abrasive month.
Unbeaten in the league in that time against Spurs, Chelsea and most recently Manchester City is proof of more durability. Huddersfield and Cardiff should be beaten. But they dropped nine points against bottom-three clubs last season.
Huddersfield haven't won in 12 league games, albeit only Manchester City have trounced them. If Liverpool are at it from the start, they'll win comfortably. But David Wagner will have plans to create a massive shock against his old pal Jurgen Klopp.
VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT
Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner: "We have to focus on ourselves, absolutely. The good thing is I know more of what is in the opposition manager's head than I usually know; this is the only good thing.
"But how we prepare, how we analyse and our meetings will be like we do with all our opponents, with maybe a little bit more knowledge of what is going on in the opposition manager's head, nothing more."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "I'm not worried by Dave's situation at Huddersfield but I'm not worried about us going to Huddersfield.
"It will not be an easy game, it will be the opposite. If we do our best, and do what we are good in, it will be difficult for Huddersfield. That is clear."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Huddersfield put in a really good performance in their draw at Burnley in their last game, and could well have taken all three points.
But I don't see them causing Liverpool too many problems, even at home, and the Reds will be confident of creating enough chances of their own to win.
Prediction: 0-2

Liverpool can keep up their perfect start in Group C of the Champions League when they visit Napoli on Wednesday (kick-off 8pm).
Jurgen Klopp's men dropped their first Premier League points of the season at Chelsea on Saturday night, but last season's beaten finalists were better as they kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 3-2 win over PSG at Anfield last month.
Wednesday will mark a first return to the Stadio San Paolo for Klopp since he was sent to the stands as Borussia Dortmund manager for berating the fourth official during a game in 2013.
Klopp said: "It was not my best behaviour. Since then nothing happened any more, so it was my last time when I was a bit too excited.
Jurgen Klopp says his Liverpool players will try to deal with the Napoli crowd on Wednesday night
"It was not nice sitting in the stand, getting all the comments, so I decided to watch the second half of the match from the groundsman's room - with a big picture of Diego Maradona on the wall."
Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has a previous score to settle too, with Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai appointed to the game barely a year after falling foul of the Italian.
After his then-side Bayern Munich lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, Ancelotti said Kassai "was not up to the task" of refereeing the game, in which he sent off Bayern midfielder Arturo Vidal.
Carlo Anclelotti took over from Maurizio Sarri at Napoli in July
"Kassai reminds me of a bad memory for my former team and I am surprised by this appointment," said Ancelotti.
"Not a long time has passed. Time usually heals things, but does not cancel them."
Team news
Liverpool have no new injury worries following Saturday's draw at Chelsea, with Virgil van Dijk showing no ill effects of a rib issue, and Divock Origi included in the travelling pack.
Divock Origi could make his first appearance of the season
Napoli have Amin Younes and Vlad Chiriches, formerly of Tottenham, missing through injury, but otherwise have a fully fit squad to face the Reds.
Match facts
Charlie's prediction
Napoli will be aware of Liverpool's counter-attack. We saw at the weekend Liverpool being unable to control the match at Chelsea like they've done in previous weeks and that will give Napoli heart and lessons to use.
A draw and defeat in the last two games mean people are again asking: 'Are Liverpool real contenders in both the Premier League and Champions League?' In my opinion, yes they still are. However, you can now see you can get at them.
Napoli will play with caution. We know how Italian teams play, they will take their time and not force the match. So I reckon a draw and that will be a good result for Liverpool.

Napoli have only won twice in their last nine Champions League games (W2 D1 L6), although both of those victories came at home.
Liverpool lost just one of their six away games in the Champions League last season (W3 D2 L1), netting an impressive 20 goals - the only other team to have scored as many away goals in a single Champions League campaign was Real Madrid in 2013-14 (also 20).
Napoli failed to score last time out against FK Crvena Zvezda; only the third time in 29 Champions League games they've failed to find the back of the net.
Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has never lost in the Champions League in four previous matches against Liverpool (W3 D1), however that one draw was in the 2005 final, when the Reds came from 3-0 down at half-time to Ancelotti's Milan side to draw 3-3 before triumphing on penalties to win their 5th European Cup/Champions League title.
Roberto Firmino has been directly involved in 18 goals in just 14 Champions League appearances for Liverpool (11 goals, 7 assists).
Dries Mertens has been directly involved in nine of Napoli's last 14 Champions League goals at the Stadio San Paolo, scoring six whilst assisting three.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in three goals in his last two starts against Napoli in all competitions (one goal, two assists), with these c
