FA Premiership
Sat 6th December 3pm at Ewood Park, Blackburn
Around 7000 Liverpool fans are expected at Ewood Park to hopefully watch the reds maintain their Premiership lead.
Blackburn have had a difficult time of it with former red Paul Ince at the helm, and have won only once in 7 league games at Ewood Park. They were knocked out the Carling Cup 5-3 in midweek at Old Trafford.
Their last league victory was in September against Newcastle United away.
They have played all 3 of the other big four at home. Losing 2-0 to both United and Chelsea, and 4-0 to Arsenal.
Both Robbie Fowler (on a 3 month contract) and Stephen Warnock are two ex-reds at the club.
History
Liverpool have only won 17 times in 69 trips to Ewood Park, and have only won once in the last four attempts. A 0-0 draw last November was preceded by a 1-0 defeat two season ago.
Betting
The bookies favour the reds
Liverpool 3/4
Draw 3/1
Blackburn 4/1
Relatively unimpressed by Liverpool, the bookies favoured scoreline is a 1-0 reds win. It’s a while since the reds 4-0 win over Blackburn but this can be had at 40/1.
Steven Gerrard can be had for 7/1 as first goalscorer, with Sami Hyypia – arguably the reds most dangerous player on Monday night – is at 33/1 if selected.
