Middlesbrough host Liverpool at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday, Dec. 14. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Liverpool has a chance to move up the standings into second place with a win away at ‘Boro. Jurgen Klopp’s squad has had a disappointing last two matches; a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham and a 4-3 loss on the road at Bournemouth, giving up six goals in the process. Much of the blame has fallen on goalkeeper Loris Karius who has given up some soft goals as of late including a free kick that should have been dealt with better in the last match against West Ham.
Luckily for Liverpool, their next opponent does not seem to present much in terms of attacking prowess. Middlesbrough has only managed a league low 13 goals so far. Their Spanish forward, Alvaro Negredo is likely to miss this game too, as he continues to battle a hamstring issue.
Liverpool will miss Emre Can, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho due to injury for this one. They are the Premier League’s highest scorers with 37 goals and will look to Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi to continue to put the ball in the back of the net. The Belgian has scored in the last four consecutive games and looks to continue to take advantage of the opportunity afforded due to Sturridge’s injury.
It will be interesting to see whether the league’s top scoring team will be able to break through against one of the stingiest defenses in the league.
