But no matter the opposition, resilient clean sheets away from home don't do any harm. Not pretty but that game at Anfield is huge and keeping a compact unit ahead of that will be a focus for Mou. Wouldn't surprise me to see a deep set up in Moscow.

Speaks to how rank awful I think the overall standard of the league is this year. Top 6, then Watford, Southampton, West Brom, all the rest are very poor sides. Maybe Everton can recover as the season progresses.
Southampton are competent, but not really a goal threat and have a fairly weak CB pairing. That will probably be enough to finish 8-10th in the league. Lemina looked decent if erratic against Utd, will be interested to see he develops through the season, could be their next profit maker.
