Live - Premier League

Premier League
comment on the article

Pop quiz.

One of the teams involved in Premier League action tonight is bottom of the table, facing a nine-point deduction because of the fact that they are in administration, have just laid off 85 staff, appear unable to find a buyer for love nor money, and will reportedly listen to offers for any of their players. The other is Liverpool.

So which team is most under pressure to get a winning result tonight?

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foo...

Well done those of you who answered 'Liverpool'. Anyone who answered 'Portsmouth' - get to the back of the class and stop playing silly beggars.

Yep, while Portsmouth's players and fans cut loose safe in the knowledge relegation is pretty much inevitable, Liverpool, out of the Champions League, facing a similar fate in the Europa League, and off the pace in the race for fourth must be desperate for victory tonight.

Will the pressure inspire or stifle?

God love Liverpool fans, I won't call them scousers as most of them aren't. Torres has 2 good games against vidic and suddenly is over hyped.

Drogba has been destroying jamie carragher for yrs - yet this is hardly ever mentioned....

Last season top four points Liverpool 14, Arsenal 9, United 5, Chelsea 4. This season so far Chelsea 12, Arsenal 6, United 6, Liverpool 3.

No bearing on title whatsoever. United vs Liverpool, Chelsea vs United and Liverpool vs Chelsea will have a big say this season.

True Neville does tend to get a little over zealous.

Just seen a nice little stat showing that if the results of the remaining top 3's games are the same as last season United will win the title by 5 points with Chelsea and Arseanl tied. Not that it really means anything.

Liverpool have to play Lille before Sunday. If they thrash them handily then United should be a little concerned. However, knowing Liverpool, they'll be out of Europe (again) this time Thursday.

Aqaullani won't last three games in a row, over 6 days. Neither will Torresm, or Gerrard. And honestly, given the contempt he shows to the EPL, which match is the most important to Rafa? Thursday's match. Loserfool will be puffed out and short of personnel come Sunday.

Is this another late awakening by Liverpool or another false dawn?
