Match Odds
Nigel Farage ismore likely to become Prime Minister than Huddersfield are to win at Anfieldtonight, according to our traders. The Terriers are 33/1 to end a run of seven straight defeats with all three points.
The Reds are heavily odds-on at 1/16, which means it’s the goal markets which take our interest. Jurgen Klopp’s men have firepower aplenty and are 6/4 to Win with Over 4.5 Goals in the match.
Alternatively, the hosts are 3/1 to score in the opening 10 minutes and 4/7 to Win to Nil against the goal-shy visitors.
Talking Tactics
Klopp couldopt to rest key players ahead of next week’s Champions League tie withBarcelona. However, the enigmatic German will want to send out a message to ManCity. Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah should all start.
Changes maycome in the midfield, where James Milner is expected to be drafted in. NabyKeita could also start, while Joe Gomez may be handed his first start sinceDecember as the centre-half continues his return from injury.
Huddersfield don’t boast quite the same squad depth as Liverpool, although they do at least have Jonas Lossl back in goal. He’ll command a back-four which may as well be a back-nine with a five-man midfield expected to camp in.
Steve Mouniewill be handed the unenviable lone front role for the Terriers, whose bestchance of scoring is likely to come from set-piece situations.
Goalscorer Odds
No fewer thanfour Liverpool players are odds-on to Score Anytime. Salah makes the mostappeal out of those after rediscovering his form. He’s 8/15 for his third goal in as many matches against Town.
He’s also 5/2 to Score 2 or More – a price he shares with Mane in the same market. The Reds should have plenty of opportunities from free-kicks and corners tonight too. Virgil van Dijk is 4/1 for his sixth goal of the season.
Punters should also note that Huddersfield have conceded the joint-highest number of penalties this season. Milner is 2/1 to capitalise on that with a goal, while Mounie is the visitors’ best bet for a goal at 4/1.
