Stoke v Liverpool: Betting preview
Check out the latest betting odds from Betfair ahead of Liverpool's Barclays Premier League clash with Stoke City on Sunday.
New Betfair customer offer: 7/1 on a Liverpool win against Stoke
A win against Stoke is vital for Liverpool if they are to finish fifth, avoid the third-qualifying round in the Europa League and have an extended summer break. Tottenham are just a point behind and can go above the Reds with victory, something Brendan Rodgers will be stressing to his team ahead of the game at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool don't go into this contest in the healthiest of form - just one win in their last five games and a disappointing reversal at home to Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace last time out. However, their record against Sunday's opponents is decent; three wins in a row including the barnstorming 5-3 win in this fixture in January of last year, and Rodgers' men know they have the quality and the pedigree to do the business once again.
As for team news, the Anfield outfit have essentially a full-strength squad to choose from. With top-scorer and talisman Steven Gerrard looking to mark the end of his Premier League career with a goal and a win, a 7/1 offer price about a Liverpool victory tempts as the Reds look to end the season in style.
