Thomas Tuchel has predicted more of the same as we face Liverpool for the fourth time this season, anticipating a closely matched game which could be decided by fine margins.
All three of our previous fixtures with the Reds in 2021/22 have ended all square, with draws home and away in the Premier League followed by a penalty shoot-out loss after 120 goalless minutes at Wembley in February’s Carabao Cup final.
Ahead of our next meeting, back at Wembley for tomorrow’s FA Cup final, our head coach is expecting another close match between two evenly matched teams.
‘Anything else will surprise me,’ said Tuchel. ‘It started with last season’s win at Anfield and very early in this season with a draw at Anfield, then a draw at Stamford Bridge and then a draw over 120 minutes and 20-something penalties.
