Premier League: Liverpool – Blackburn 26/12/2011

Liverpool has an ambitious plan to get into top 4 before year end and with their fixture it is quite likely. It was a bit destroyed with a 0:0 draw against Wigan on Wednesday but still quite likely. The will now face the worst team in the league – Blackburn and after that they will host Newcastle United at home. With just 2 points behind 4th Chelsea it’s not long way to go.

Blackburn has massive problems. Not only are they on last position with only 10 points in 17 games. What is worse they have a long list of injuries that will make it very difficult to improve their league position. They won’t be able to use Givet, Olsson, Salgado, Grella, Nelsen and Dann while Liverpool will only miss Lucas and long injured Gerrard.

Liverpool is strong favorite to win this one and odds for clear 1 are small (around 1.25). So we will try a half time/full time win with 1.80 from Paddy Power.

Premier League: Liverpool – QPR (10/12/2011)

Liverpool will do all they can to secure 3 points at home after having lost their last Premier League game against Fulham.

It looks that central midfield will be the key problem for Liverpool for this game. Steven Gerrard is still injured and now Jay Spearing is serving a 3 match ban after his latest red card.  Lucas Leiva will probably partner Jordan Henderson but if any of them gets problems the Reds will be in huge problems.

The same formation doesn’t look perfect for QPR with their key playmaker Adel Taarabt to undergo a fitness test before the game.

Probable squads:

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Bellamy, Adam, Henderson, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.

QPR: Cerny, Traore, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Young, Wright-Phillips, Barton, Faurlin, Mackie, Helguson, Bothroyd.

QPR is doing quite well in the league but away trip to Anfield Road seems just too hard for new comers. Liverpool to win with 1.36 from Paddy Power

 

 

Premier League: Fulham – Liverpool (05/12/2011)

The game of the day tonight gives us an interesting Premier League battle between Fulham and Liverpool. The last league trip to London gave the Reds 3 points against Chelsea and with another good performance against Man City last weekend you may well expect a win also here.

Liverpool is playing a solid football with on form Suarez backed by likes of Kuyt, Johnson, Downing and solid defending. One can only hope that also the multi-million Carroll will also add his piece to the team.

Fulham is having a difficult season. They have drawn their two last games, with both quite surprises. First they failed to win against Sunderland and then they’ve managed to steal points from Arsenal at Emirates.

Still I believe that currently it is Liverpool that is a stronger team than the Gunners and against the Reds Fulham will find it more difficult than in their last London derby.

Premier League: Everton – Liverpool

Last weekend we did predict correctly the loosing of Everton against Manchester City. This time we will see this team in a classic Liverpool derby.

Both teams are having a rather mixed start of season. Everton started with a surprising loss against QPR but then managed to win away from home against Blackburn followed by a draw against Aston Villa and a 3:1 win over Wigan.

Premier League: Tottenham – Liverpool Preview

Both teams are counting for a Champions League qualification this season. Tottenham will start the game a bit tired after their Europa League midweek game. This will be surely a small advantage for The Reds. However at such an early stage of the season it might not be nothing massively important.

Liverpool made a decent start of season but they’ve made a big mistake in their last league game against Stoke City, loosing it 0:1.

Premier League: Liverpool – Bolton Preview

Liverpool had a very solid start of this Premier League season. After so many changes in the team you could have expected The Reds to struggle in the first games. And this doubt was even stronger after a 1:1 draw in the opening game against Sunderland at home, but with an away win against Arsenal last weekend even the most demanding fans of Liverpool can be satisfied. And with a great performance of Luis Suarez most of them have probably already forgotten Fernando Torres especially when Spaniard still fails to impress at Chelsea.

Premier League: Liverpool – Sunderland early preview

Premier League season is coming closer and closer. Bookies have already published their odds for first round which will be played on 13th – 15th August. On the early stage Liverpool – Sunderland game looks most interesting.

Liverpool has spent quite a lot on transfers during the summer brining some interesting players like Steward Downing (from Aston Villa) or Jordan Henderson (from Sunderland). It also looks that Copa America winner Luis Suarez is in very good form and should be a great long term replacement for Fernando Torres.
