 Barclays Premier League
Liverpool travel to London to face West Ham and if we can judge on past meetings, it should be an away win. West Ham suffered eight defeats in last ten meetings with Liverpool, allowed 20 goals and scored only 4.
But if we look back only few days, Liverpool had huge troubles with Hungarian side Debrecin in Champions League. Although they were expected to win that match comfortably, they only managed 1-0 win, and hardly pleased their fans with the display.
Hammers’ boss Zola brought in Mexican striker Guillermo Franco in order to boost his options up front, but he will probably have to wait for his debut (although I wouldn’t be surprised if Zola includes him into squad tonight). Another new face, Alessandro Diamanti, will make the squad, while Kieron Dyer and Herita Ilunga are back after injures.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will be without injured duo Agger/Aquillani and could welcome back Javier Mascherano and Fabio Aurelio.
Liverpool are likely winners tonight, but with their inconsistence this season they are poor price at 1.57, which is the best price available. Laying them at around 1.60 at betfair would be decent bet, while those braver can maybe try draw @4.00 at Boylesports or even back Hammers @6.75 expekt.
