Athuku aprm naraya try panunanga aana inoru goal poda mudila Liverpool naala.
Liverpool current ah top of the Premier League by 5 points with City having a game in hand. Athu mattu ilama ella competition layu innu irukanga after beating Arsenal in the FA Cup as well. Enna panraglo therila aana etho panranga nu tha solanu because 1st half of every game they've played really poorly until now aana 2nd half la ethayo panni win paniranga. They are finding a way to win nu solalam. Pona season nadantha avamanangal ku aprm Klopp ku bayangra veri vanthuruchu nu nenaikran. Mo Salah and Endo have gone for International Duty aana athulayu Salah vera injured aayitan and most probably won't be back before end of February. So it will be a difficult game for Liverpool away to Fulham.
