We expect a break after 25 minutes at Anfield tonight to allow the Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan.
I was at Anfield on Sunday. It was quite hard work for Liverpool for Brighton were well organized but the result rarely seemed in doubt.
Chris Wilder also speaks: “We have to have a structure and we have to enjoy the challenge ahead of us. “I’m sure a lot of players would love to be in the position our players are in tonight, in front of an incredible crowd.”
“We managed to get a couple of draws after a difficult night against a great Arsenal team (they lost 6-0 at home). We have to perform tonight and give our best game to achieve anything, this is the first division and if you want to get the surprising result, we have to be on our A game. I have been a bit critical of the substitutions we have had to make; not tactical, but physical; It is important that I cool down.”
Captain Jack (Robinson) has a cunning plan and has been telling TNT everything. “It's going to be a difficult game, we have to give our best tonight,” says Robinson. “We've had a couple of results lately, so it's an opportunity to build on that confidence tonight.”

It's all about attitude.
Hello!
If you're looking to move two points clear at the top of the Premier League table, it always helps to host the worst team in the division. Arsenal and Manchester City won last night to keep the pressure on Liverpool but, with Sheffield United in the city, you won't worry too much about the subsequent result.
The Blades have won three times all season and have blown injury-time leads in their last two outings, so the signs are not good for Chris Wilder and his future Championship team. But they can surely provide one last hurrah to their fans by securing an unlikely victory that makes this dismal season memorable.
Liverpool had to work a little hard on Sunday to beat Brighton, but they did it in the end. Anfield were moving because they know they have the chance to send Jurgen Klopp on his merry way with a second title in his back pocket, which would be a beautiful ending for the German.
Let's hope for a cookie!
Start: 7.30pm BST
