Liverpool's home score at Anfield has always been trustworthy.

If Liverpool still has the possibility of a failure in the away game, then when playing at home, Liverpool can fully show a focused attitude towards the game and directly beat the opponent to no resistance.

Even if Tottenham, which is currently ranked third in the Premier League, was kicked 3-0 by Liverpool in the match against Liverpool at Anfield. In terms of the score, the gap between the two teams can be seen.

Although he was turned around by Southampton away, now, in this strong match with Tottenham, Liverpool is proving to the fans that the previous defeat was just an accident, and the team will continue to pursue the honor of three consecutive Premier League titles this season.

For Liverpool, when the league reaches this point, if you want to recover the points gap between you and Leicester City, you can't lose even one point anymore.

If Liverpool wants to put pressure on Leicester City in the league, they need to really be able to win all the games and use their better record to make Leicester City feel the pressure from the rear and make mistakes.

For Leicester City, they still have the initiative to compete for the championship.

As long as Leicester City can play all the games and win, it will be meaningless for Liverpool to win in the future.

With the two direct matches between the two teams finished, this season's championship competition is the two teams' subsequent competition in several rounds of the league.

Especially Liverpool, I can only hope that other teams can help themselves and block Leicester City.

However, in the 33rd round of the Premier League that started first, Leicester City's away challenge to "Black Cat" Sunderland was the first to be played.

Leicester City, who played away, faced the relegation maniac Sunderland. It was originally a game that Liverpool believed that Leicester City had a chance to lose points.

After all, in the last few rounds of the Premier League, the combat effectiveness of relegation teams can sometimes be comparable to championship teams, especially when they are at home.

However, Sunderland, who struggled to the third-last and had 6 rounds left in the league, was only 4 points away from Norwich, the fourth-last, although he wanted to win the game, he scored all three points to further narrow the gap in points.

But Leicester City also wants to continue to win in the game to maintain its championship situation.

You should know that with Liverpool's two games away, Leicester City is currently leading by as much as 10 points.

If you can win this game, then the 13-point advantage will likely cause greater psychological pressure to Liverpool players.

If Liverpool players can make mistakes on their own, the probability of winning the championship ahead of schedule will be greater for Leicester City.

At the end of the list, Leicester City, who was eager for the Premier League champion, did not care about Sunderland's relegation battle in the game, but instead launched an offensive effort to score goals and win the game.

In the end, Vardy and Mahrez, two of Leicester City's core offensive points, scored one goal each, helping Leicester City win 2-0 in the away game.

It can also be regarded as transferring the scoring pressure to Liverpool, who appeared after this round.

Three games less, 13 points behind.

Even if there are all three games, Liverpool is only 9 points, and it is still a 4-point gap.

You should know that in the subsequent schedule of Liverpool, Stoke City faced in this round is the top ten teams, and the opponents in the two supplementary games, one is Everton and the other is Chelsea, are not easy to win.

Just looking at the schedule and the gap in points, many media have actually believed that it is only a matter of time before Leicester City won the league championship this season.

As long as Liverpool does not win all of them in a few strong matches, it is pushing Leicester City to the road to winning the championship.

In this round of matches, the schedule is Liverpool, who plays on Sunday. The opponents they face at Anfield Stadium are also ranked in the top ten, now ninth.

Stoke City's overall performance this season is quite good.

Both offense and defense are excellent, especially on the offensive end. The offensive combination of Boyang and Shaqiri has played his own threatening offensive in the Premier League game.

For Liverpool, in this game, in addition to doing its own offense, it also needs to do it well on the defensive end. In fact, it is how to limit the offenses of Shaqiri and Boyan in the game.

For Stoke City, under the current league situation, Stoke City is more about "performance shows" in the game to allow players to gain value, increase their value, and prepare for the summer transfer market and put players on the shelves.

Liverpool used a 442 lineup today, with Sturridge and Firmino, who returned from injury, partnering with the two forwards in the frontcourt.

Coutinho, Larana, Milner and Henderson are the team's four midfielders.

As a backcourt player, Klopp sent out a combination of Yang Feng and Lovren today. Scotter has been in a bit unstable recently. After a long period of daily training, Yang Feng and Lovren have formed a certain tacit understanding of the game.

There has been no change in both full-backs and goalkeeper positions. This starting lineup is also considered Liverpool's absolute main lineup.

Liverpool, who played at home, performed as always at Anfield Stadium, in addition to its strong offensive suppression.

And today, Liverpool have very good luck on the court.

For teams of Liverpool at this level, in the Premier League, there are only a few teams who can play evenly with Liverpool, especially at Anfield Stadium.

Even if Stoke City ranks in the top ten in the standings this season, it ranks 9th in the league.

However, for Liverpool, it is still possible to achieve the offensive pressure on the game during home games.

In this suppressive offense, it is actually a chance to counterattack while gaining a huge offensive advantage.

Therefore, for Liverpool, being able to break the deadlock earlier in the game is very important for a smooth victory.

In other words, for Liverpool, the sooner they can score in this game and get the lead, the easier it will be for them to play in the subsequent games.

And today, Liverpool successfully broke the deadlock in the first 10 minutes of the start of the game.

In such a fierce rhythm of the game, for Liverpool, after scoring the first goal, there was actually a considerable foundation for the score, and the game could be completely controlled in its own rhythm.

In the 7th and a half minute of the game, Liverpool's suppression in the frontcourt continued to play.

If we talk about the last game, when facing Tottenham, Liverpool still had some restraint on the offensive end.

Facing an opponent like Stoke City, Liverpool's offense was still at his Anfield Stadium, and from the beginning, all the players pressed down, firmly controlling the ball within the opponent's half, and launching an oppressive offense.

The insertion of two full-backs also gave Liverpool more room for changes in the frontcourt offense.

During this attack.

Because of Coutinho's sideline, the left defender Moreno got in and came to the position close to the middle.

Coutinho has a great advantage in the 1v1 confrontation in the breakthrough on the left.

After Coutinho took advantage of the emergency stop and shook the defender away, he saw that several Liverpool players in the penalty area who were receiving the points were not in a good offensive position when the Stoke City players defended back into the penalty area, so he did not forcefully choose to cross.

Coutinho passed the ball directly and found Moreno, who had an open chance before the penalty area.

This time, Stoke City's defensive explanation actually caused a lot of problems.

In other words, Stoke City's defense is really targeted.

In the penalty area, Liverpool's contact points were restricted to death.

Outside the penalty area, Henderson, who has the ability to shoot from a long time, was also caught.

However, for Moreno, who received the ball outside the penalty area, no one came to defend at the first time.

Even when Moreno stopped the ball, made the ball, and shot the ball, the Stoke City defensive player had not yet saved and completed the defense.

Under such circumstances, Moreno naturally bent his bow and arrow near the penalty area line and shot a long shot.

With this long shot, Moreno's shot was some of the shots on the outside instep.

There is a rather weird rotation route on the trajectory of the ball flying.

This sudden change in the flight trajectory made Stoke City's goalkeeper unable to react. Although he forced his direction and barely encountered the football, under Moreno's powerful shot, the ball's flight trajectory did not change much, and eventually he flew directly into the goal.

1-0, Moreno's wonderful long-range shot directly helped Liverpool break the deadlock on the court.

The subsequent match will be much simpler.

Liverpool can play the defensive counterattack that they are best at.

There is no need to rush to attack.

Moreover, players can also play their strongest strength without much psychological burden during the game.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Coutinho showed his outstanding personal technical ability on the left.

When facing the defensive player in front of him in 1v1, Coutinho suddenly chose to play a one-man ball during the game and scored the ball from the defender's wicket to the penalty area, and he went around from the other side to the penalty area.

This amazing man scored the ball, fully demonstrating Coutinho's outstanding personal ability and the big heart that dared to make moves in the game.

The man ball was successfully divided and caught the defensive player off guard. Coutinho directly entered the penalty area and took advantage of the other defensive player Hang Qiang to complete a pass from the side at close range and directly headed towards the back point of the goal.

Since Coutinho entered the penalty area from the left, the visiting goalkeeper will naturally block the near corner position as soon as possible, which will make Coutinho's pass, in this case, the visiting goalkeeper will not have a good way to reach the back point, but can only look at the performance of the defensive players.

Coutinho's pass and Sturridge's ghostly running were one of the powerful weapons that Liverpool had in the game last season.

And this time, the two people successfully completed the connection again.

Sturridge directly overwhelmed the defender at the back point, headed the ball into the goal, and smashed the ball from the back point into the goal, and the away goalkeeper rushed to the middle of the goal.

2 to 0!

At the end of the first half, Liverpool once again took a two-goal lead.

However, since the first two rounds of the game against Southampton, Liverpool will no longer relax when they lead with two goals.

Instead, try to determine the lead more and leave yourself enough room for "making mistakes".

At the beginning of the second half, Firmino's goal completely concluded the outcome of the game.

In the 50th minute of the game, Milner made a cross from the right side with his left foot to the front and back points.

Firmino quickly inserted from behind, and came to "Tarzan to press the top" against the pass.

He directly smashed the ball into the goal.

After two games on the court, Firmino scored goals when he returned, and maintained his excellent offensive form as always.

Liverpool also gained a 3-0 lead early, which completely locked in the victory.

After 3-0, Liverpool obviously began to have some strength in the game.

Even though the visiting Stoke City began to take shape on the offensive end, Liverpool did a very good job in defense without any major defensive problems.

This also allows Liverpool to use the control of the ball to kill time for most of the time after the second half.

The attack on the visiting team Stoke City is mainly limited to their wing attacks.

Shaqiri and Boyan, the two Stoke City's offensive strength points, were focused on Liverpool.

Especially, Shaqiri's performance on the wing road can be said to have limited Stoke's offense by most of it.

As a powerful player, Shaqiri has a very good confrontational ability and a very fast speed. After leaving Bayern, he also got the core position he wanted. He performed very well in Stoke City teams and the Premier League this season.

Without Shaqiri's connection, Stoke City would not have performed well in this situation and could only play some offenses at will in the game.

In the last 30 minutes of the game, the two teams were almost always "mixed" and did not play too effective offense or defense.
