Bren such a jolly Rodgers

BRENDAN RODGERS has already presided over away wins where his team scored five at the Etihad and four against Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds, while also turning over Arsenal at the Emirates.

Who’s to say he can’t put the cat among the pigeons in the title race by winning at his old club Liverpool this weekend?

Understandably, we hear a lot about Liverpool’s atrocious luck with injuries, and the champions’ strength in depth will be sorely tested over the winter by long-term injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.

And in the short term, Jurgen

Klopp may have to cope without fullbacks Trent Alexander-arnold (calf) and Andy Robertson (hamstring), who both sat out internationals during the break. But you don’t hear so much about Leicester’s absent defenders. Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira, Timothy Castagne and midfield anchor Wilfred Ndidi have all been missing but it hasn’t stopped the

Foxes topping the table.

I’m not saying Klopp has moaned about his ill fortune with injuries, but Rodgers’ luck has been just as wretched.

Never write off

Liverpool, especially y at

Anfield, but they may ay have their work cut t out to keep

Rodgers’ side at bay this time.

And as much as

Tottenham’s game with Manchester City ty could have a significant bearing on the title race, it would uld be a real statement t of intent from Leicester er if they chalked up another away win this his weekend. To win at City,

Arsenal, Leeds and

Liverpool would be massive for Rodgers rs

(right). Hold on to your hats.

CAN somebody please explain the logic of cramming three games into the international break?

In a season where the fixture list is already rammed to breaking point, because of the pandemic, why were we playing meaningless friendlies?

All we could possibly get from these glorified training sessions is managers complaining bitterly when their players return from international duty with injuries.

If we are serious about player welfare at a time of national crisis, friendly internationals should be the first things to fall by the wayside.
