Portsmouth vs Liverpool

December 21, 2009 by Richard 

361A head to head match between two of the troubled teams of the Premier League’s will play in the first match of the weekend.  It is Liverpool taking a trip down to cellar dweller Portsmouth.  The Hampshire fell to Chelsea in midweek.  But it was a much better showing as Avram Grant watched his old charge Frank Lampard concludes the match with a second-half penalty. 
Yet Pompey remained steady with only 11 points to their name, so they should get something when Rafael Benitez’s Reds come to town.  The Anfield giants desperately need a win on Wednesday, triumphing 2-1 over Wigan Athletic in spite of failing to take full gain of their many goal-scoring chances.  But Liverpool is still a long shot from where they hope to be at this point of the season.  But still the Champions League qualification is a must for the 18-time English champions, and if they are to achieve that goal they should win against the cellar dwellers.
