Q2) In your opinion, how important could that win over Liverpool be in providing that extra boost for a strong finish to 2020/21?

A) It’s massive, in my opinion. How we build on that historic win is extremely important, and that all starts with a solid performance against Southampton to start reversing what has been almost a curse at home as of late in the league. I really hope that with Calvert-Lewin being back to full fitness on top of Allan returning to the team for the first time since mid December, we will now have the personnel and the momentum to push for Europe. A win on Monday is nothing less than crucial for us to get a late-season run of form started.
