You went one or two ways. They only used to show Liverpool or Manchester United back then.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I had a couple of mates who went the United way so I went with Liverpool to make it interesting. Like any kid, I had the posters up on the wall. Liverpool was my team, but you grow up, things change. I used to love Happy Days. But I don&#8217;t have posters of The Fonz on my wall now. That\u2019s how it goes.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Brennan Johnson is set to miss the match with Liverpool but Son Heung-min and James Maddison should be fit after returning to training.
