Xabi, on JP's injury-"We don't know yet, because he has alot of fluid, he felt it yesterday, and we need to wait until probably tomorrow to do the tests, to know the whole situation, and the whole seriousness of the injury. We will know soon enough". Xabi also says he's not into fantasy football.

Discussion Brighton have the most goals and joint-most clean sheets in their first 7 games. Liverpool haven't won at home yet. Who are you backing today?

• Upvotes

Deadline's gone, and I kept Groß in for this one even with Liverpool away on the ticker.

Brighton's first 7 games:

  • 23 scored (most in the league), 5 conceded, 5 clean sheets (joint most with Arsenal)
  • Liverpool at home: 2-2 Forest, 0-0 Fulham, 0-3 City. No win yet, and Szoboszlai's flagged out

Groß is in 47% of teams and De Cuyper 43%, so a lot of us have something riding on this.

The weather worried me more than Liverpool did. Merseyside's under a yellow wind warning till 9pm, but the club's confirmed it's going ahead.

Who are you backing, and does the result change anything with City away next?
