A trip to Anfield

These are the away day trips we have ALL been looking forward to since getting promoted. Anfield is one of the BEST away games in the season, and should be a noisy place, even on New Years day with some sore scouse heads !

We fancy a draw for Leicester ! And maybe even a famous away win, following the victory at Hull ! What do YOU think !? Comment YOUR pre match thoughts…
