5. First 7 Away Matches (or First 13 Games):-
Liverpool’s first 7 away matches are against Stoke (Liverpool won 1-0), Arsenal (0-0 Draw), Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City. Their match against Manchester City is on 21st of November, that means their away games upto the end of November is tough and also crucial. They got 4 points of 6 in the first two away games. If they can get 10 points out of the 15 from the next five away games it will be a great boost for them. They will be confident to face those teams when they come to Anfield. If they perform well in these matches then top 4 is easily achievable, but getting 10 points from these 5 matches won’t be easy.
If the first four factors go in Liverpool’s way I think the fifth will also go in Liverpool’s way, hence making their top 4 finish achievable. In my opinion, Liverpool has done extremely well in the transfer market. They recognized their needs and got what they need. Now Rodgers just have to get his tactics right and result will follow.
