Live on BT Sport 1: Sat 12.45: Liverpool (2/5, bet365) can see off Stoke in the Premier League and Daniel Sturridge can send them on their way.
Liverpool get the new Premier League campaign under way this weekend as they entertain Stoke in the opening fixture at lunchtime on Saturday. The Reds are emphatic favourites at 2/5 via bet365 to send the Potters, Stan James’s 17/2 underdogs, home empty-handed and it’s 7/2 (Winner.com) to finish all square, just as did in the corresponding fixture last season.
That one finished goalless, a result that BetVictor chalk up at 12/1 on this occasion but Brendan Rodgers has made a few key additions over the summer and even though Luis Suarez won’t feature, his side should have the upper hand.
They’re 11/2 with Stan James to grab the only goal on Merseyside, where Paddy Power post even money against Liverpool holding a lead at the end of each half and Daniel Sturridge is 7/2 courtesy of Stan James to fire the opener.
At the other end meanwhile, Stoke don’t tend to score at Anfield so a Reds clean sheet is on the cards and BetVictor’s 6/5 for the hosts to prevail ‘to nil’ is subsequently hard to resist.
Recommended Bets:
Liverpool to beat Stoke ‘to nil’ – 6/5 (BetVictor)
Daniel Sturridge to score first – 7/2 (Stan James)
