Blackburn Rovers vs Liverpool
Posted on | December 26, 2006 | No Comments
Liverpool are coming off 4 consecutive wins in the premiership and that too winning with style. The Reds have not lost in their last seven matches and are yet to be scored against in their last 600+ minutes of football. They travel to Ewood Park looking for their 3rd successive away victory after beating Wigan and Charlton away from home. Mark Hughes will be pretty disappointed with the scoreline of their last weeks match versus Arsenal. Blackburn started the season pretty okay, but since then they have managed to win only 2 of their last 11 league games.
Last year the match ended in Liverpool’s favor although only with a 1 goal margin. Blackburn would have been pretty pleased with the way they played at Anfield this season to get a point from the match.
The good news for Rovers fans is the return of Benni Mccarthy after serving a suspension at the weekend. Shabani Nonda is doubtful for this match with a hip injury, but is due a fitness test just before the match. For Liverpool, Steven Gerrard is a slight concern along with team mate Craig Bellamy who has been in great form. Although both are expected to be fit we are not sure if any of them would be given a rest by the manager. Peter Crouch could start in Bellamy’s place if the latter is not fit. Other long term injuries still remain with Kewell and Zenden both out.
A Liverpool win at 1.83 is a very probable outcome and my money is definitely with the Merseyside outfit. A goal ‘After 28th Minute’ is at 1.90 is also a good bet. Liverpool to keep a clean sheet is at 2.20, so even if its a no score draw you will win your money.
