liverpool versus huddersfield- will it be an easy victory for home
team?
There is only one team
with something to play for in this game and that is the home side. Liverpool
know they need to win this match, regardless of the outcome in the Manchester
derby but they could be playing to open a 5 point gap or a 2 point depending on
that result.
Huddersfield Town have
known their fate for some time and they will be playing Championship football
next season.
Liverpool have just three games left and they could not
have come into this fixture in better form. Trends show they have won
each of their last nine games in all competitions. There have been six
wins in the Premier League and three wins in the Champions League.
Three of the six wins in
the Premier League have come at home and Liverpool are
undefeated in their last thirty-eight home matches, which is the equivalent of
an entire season. The Reds have scored 2 or more goals in each of their
last five home league games and both teams have scored in five of their last
eight.
You must go back to the
7th October 2018 to find the last time Liverpool failed to score at home in the
league and that was against rivals Manchester City.
Huddersfield Town have been relegated and have nothing but
pride left to play for this season. A trip to Liverpool is the last thing they want and form is very
poor. Trends show Huddersfield Town have lost each of their last seven
Premier League games.
In fact, they have won
only one of their last twenty-three matches in all competitions and it is
little wonder they are rooted to the bottom of the table.
Huddersfield Town have
picked up just a single point in their last eleven away league matches. They
have failed to score in seven of their last eight on the road and have conceded
2 or more goals in five of their last six.
Team news and Liverpool
could have every player available for this game. Joe Gomez is back in
contention but Jurgen Klopp may not want to disrupt what has been a solid back
four in recent matches. Klopp may be tempted to rotate in central midfield.
Huddersfield Town are
sweating on the fitness of Philip Billing and Laurent Depoitre, both of which
could feature. Adama Diakhaby is struggling with a hamstring injury and is
unlikely to be involved.
