So, it really doesn't take a genius to decipher backing the Liverpool centre-backs to score is a fine angle of attack.
I'm trying just to feel better every day in training and in the games. I think every game I'm playing I'm showing a slightly better version of myself.

The future of Formula One's race director Michael Masi remains uncertain after a meeting of the F1 Commission ended on Monday without the sport's governing body making a recommendation one way or another.
And for what it's worth, there’s a good chance that this duopoly is dead in the water in a year or two. There is a lot of speculation about the futures of both Guardiola and Klopp, who may walk away when their contracts expire in the next couple of years. So who knows what happens after that or how the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur develop in the near future. That is the secret to the Premier League. It’s the closest approximation to American sports where “this year can be our year.” Still only six or seven clubs can say that in England, but it’s more than any other top European league.

Sky Sports' Gary Neville said: Dean Smith might be a little bit unhappy with the penalty, but his team have had an absolute mauling in the first half. Smith made a tactical change at the restart as Leon Bailey replaced Axel Tuanzebe as Villa reverted to four at the back, and there was more courage and appetite from the visitors in the opening five minutes after the break than in the entire first period.
Let's begin with Philippe Coutinho. Last night's game against Leeds was a showcase for Villa's new No 23: one goal, a beautiful hit from a player that only scores beautiful hits, but also two assists, from a player who is often accused, a little unfairly, of only scoring beautiful hits. The pass for Villa's second was a particular delight, a scudding, skating ball through a kinked Leeds defence that drew into Jacob Ramsey's path as if Villa Park were a bowling green.
Heung-Min Son's hat-trick helped to open up a three-point lead over the Gunners and Conte was thrilled by the mentality shown by his team as they withstood heavy pressure in the first half.
I think the points deduction and everything that was chucked at the club at the time, it was a really tough situation because even if we survived, there was no guarantee that the club would survive.
Plough Lane was a shambles of a non-league stadium, says Lawrie Sanchez, scorer not only of the goal that won the FA Cup in 1988 but also the winner at Huddersfield two years earlier that got Wimbledon promoted to the top flight.

Raheem Sterling scored in a 5-0 win over San Marino at Wembley in March but will not feature in Monday's qualifier
“I don't have to give advice to Hazard. He has the character and experience to decide himself and, by the way, the quality that both of them have could help us a lot. I hope the second half of the season is better.
He's started the past six games for City and scored four goals but the most eye-catching stat according to Dave is his expected assists, which is way above the one actual assist he's provided this season. The underlying numbers are good, so Dave says it's only a matter of time before the points start rolling in.
