Liverpool play Spurs this weekend, with each club in pursuance of varying ambitions in the league this season. Spurs are in the chase for the title, and hence this game becomes a must-win for Spurs. Liverpool are faintly in contention for a top 4 place, which took a beating after the 'defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory' against Southampton....
Simply translated, "Kapellmeister", is a German word used to describe a musician in charge of music-making. Nowadays in Germany, Kapellmeister is considered as the Director or conductor of the orchestra. That's what Leandro Paredes represents at Empoli. When the music or in this case football is played right and beautifully at Stadio Carlo Castellani...
During this season I’ve written quite a bit about its seemingly endless twists and turns, the high points, and on the back of the latest bump in the road that sent the Liverpool wagon spinning off the rails, the occasional lows.

With the dangers of Manchester City’s attack and the energy needed in Liverpool’s midfield, who starts in midfield on Sunday will play a pivotal part in Liverpool’s fortunes.
