Match Preview – 15:00 Kick-Off at the Britannia Stadium, Stoke
With 1 win in 6 Premier League games, Stoke City’s season is in danger of petering out and finishing drearily. Bar a late capitulation and corresponding resurgence from others, Mark Hughes’ side shouldn’t have any relegation worries but Stoke will still want to finish as high as they can. Their midweek defeat at Burnley was the 3rd time in 4 games that Stoke City failed to score a goal – they have only scored more than one goal in a game once since January.
Liverpool remain the most capricious of football teams, they maintain an uncanny ability to produce big performances in big games, but all too often fall short when expected to beat lesser opponents. Their 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Wednesday night at Anfield was the latest in a line of disappointing results against sides they were expected to beat. Liverpool are still in the driving seat for a top 4 finish, but nobody in the top 7 has conceded more goals than Jurgen Klopp’s side. Ultimately that could make the difference between qualifying and not qualifying for Champions League football come May.
Just after Christmas, Liverpool came from a goal down to beat Stoke City 4-1 at Anfield though 2 of the scorers that day, Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge will be missing on Saturday through injury. Historically Liverpool have always done well against Stoke and they have beaten the Potters in 6 out of the last 7 fixtures between the 2. Read our Stoke City V Liverpool betting tips below.

Stoke City V Liverpool Predictions
Even with Liverpool’s unpredictability, Stoke City usually represent favourable opponents for the Reds. Stoke won’t give Liverpool an easy ride at the Britannia however – they have lost just 4 times there all season. Liverpool have kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 7 Premier League games, so even though both teams will probably score, the away side have enough quality to score more on the day.
UniBet have odds of 23/10 for Liverpool to win and both teams to score – that looks a cracking price for Saturday’s game. Elsewhere they have odds of 5/6 for there to be over 2.5 goals in the game, which is always a safe bet when Liverpool play. 5 of their last 6 league games have had over 2.5 goals.
