...popped over to RAWK to see if they have a thread on our match...of course they do!
Interesting reading - naturally they're very confident. The line between confidence and sheer arrogance is often stepped over but we can forgive them, after all they are scousers. They only way we get anything from the game is if they are not quite at the races or if the Ref fucks them over (which apparently Martin Atkinson does so more often than not)...
Here's some snippets for you:

Quite confident for this. A lot of our players have had nice quiet breaks, and many of their have been involved in tiring games (Eriksen, etc).
8-0 to the reds, shite these.
With the best atmosphere, crowd on full throttle, no nerves and the team getting a good start, I can see us getting a 3-0 here.
More than likely we aren't going to play against Spurs like we did against Fulham for various reasons. We played Fulham within ourselves, we didn't play at our highest level, we didn't just have an intense game against bayern in midweek like we did leading up to that match, we played in 2nd gear. We wont play with the same lack of intensity against Tottenham.
We need to take our chances, because I think there will be multiple ones for us.
A bit nervous about this game, not saying I don't think we could win. It's just the nature of coming straight off the international break, having said all that our players certainly came bang in form. Start quickly hopefully get an early goal and my confidence will grow optimistically after that. Either way just win the game Reds.
This is a much tougher game than some will have you believe - it won't be a stroll in the park at all.
1-0 to us or 1-1.
I'm not worried about our performance for this game. We will be totally up for it. Just expect another great performance the way we usually beat Arsenal or Spurs at home when they can't deal with us.
Read my sentences again. I said I'm not worried about our performance. However we could still draw this game if their keeper is having a blinder, if Salah and Firmino are holding the ball a second too long and lose it in scoring positions, if the ref gives them soft penalties again or if we switch off for one or two moves and allow Kane in... it could well be a 2-2 draw.
So, I can see us scoring... but if we Virgil and the boys at the back are in top form along with the ref, then we will definitely win.
Atkinson as the ref. One of the most inept refs in the league and seems to like to fuck us over. Hope we don't give him any 50/50 calls to make when we're defending in our box cause you can guarantee he'll give it their way.
Hopefully everyone is at the top of their game and we grab the win. Next 3 games are crucial. Get maximum points from them and we'll be in a fantastic position
