Liverpool vs Stoke: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 28th April 2018
Kick off at 12.30pm BST
Venue: Anfield

Match Preview:

Liverpool have been like a fine wine who have been getting better as the season has gone on. They have one foot in the Champions League final after destroying Roma 5-2 at Anfield in the semi-finals, and now at the weekend they will turn their attentions back again to the Premier League.

The Reds need to keep winning games and stay focused as Tottenham have played a game less than Liverpool and could still steal third position meaning that if Jurgen Klopp’s team do not win the Champions League they would have to qualify for it.

Liverpool are the only team unbeaten in the league at home and they have won their last 4 games in a row. They will start as odds on favourites to beat Stoke.

Stoke are 19th and 4 points from safety and this game really does represent the last roll of the dice for Paul Lambert’s side. Form has picked up in the last few weeks with two draws but the Potters have won just six games all season and away from home they have the worst record in the league with just 1 win all season.

 

Liverpool vs Stoke Team News:

Liverpool vs Stoke Head to Head:

Liverpool have scored 13 goals in the last 4 meetings with Stoke

In league games Liverpool have never lost to Stoke at Anfield

 

Liverpool vs Stoke Prediction:

If Jurgen Klopp decides to rest some players ahead of their vital game against Roma it would be understandable but even with a weakended squad it’s hard to see past Liverpool. However that doesn’t mean that Stoke will get overrun, and they will give everything in this game. The handicap on Stoke represents decent value, but check final team news first. If Liverpool go with a strong one favour the second choice bet.
