LAZIO

WHAT IS GIVING COACH SIMONE
INZAGHI SLEEPLESS NIGHTS?
With Lazio’s Serie A title hopes all but
over, Inzaghi has been infuriated of late
by his team’s inconsistency and lapses
in concentration. He calls the latter
“blackouts” and feels it cost the
Biancocelestipoints in a loss to Milan
and home draw with Genoa. He insists
they must improve their defending at
set-pieces to get back on track in 2021.

LIVERPOOL

COULD THE REDS’ POOR AWAY
FORM BE THEIR ACHILLES HEEL?
For the most part this season,Jurgen
Klopp’s team have flattered to deceive
on the road, rarely performing with their
usual zest, zing and bravura. Their
five-star front-three of Mo Salah, Sadio
Mane and Roberto Firmino have often
been remarkably ineffectual away from
Anfield. Is fatigue a factor?

MANCHESTER CITY

DO CITY HAVE A DEFENCE WORTHY
OF A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TROPHY?
Goals have never been a problem for
Pep’s side, but now he has a defence to
challenge for Europe’s biggest prize too.
England centre-backJohn Stones has
improved immensely this season, playing
a key role in the Premier League’s
tightest defence, alongside Portuguese
stopper Ruben Dias, who has settled in
exellently since arriving from Benfica.
