CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW

Why Liverpool can pip Atletico and win Group D

PSV/Liverpool, 7.45pm, ITV4, Best Odds, Free Bets

In order to win Group D tonight, Liverpool need to win in Holland by a margin two goals better than that of Atletico Madrid in Marseille or, more plausibly, hope the Spanish side slip up. Here’s why that is a strong possibility:

Why Liverpool should beat PSV fairly comfortably
Liverpool made two trips to Eindhoven in the 2006-07 season and on both occasions they shut the Dutch side out. Their second away game there finished 3-0 and they scored three against them at Anfield earlier this season in a 3-1 triumph. PSV have lost four of their five Champions League games this year and lost 3-0 at home to Atletico Madrid.

STAT ATTACK

Why Bale was just as responsible as Gomes for Redknapp’s first loss

Five stats regarding this weekend’s football

1. Harry Redknapp’s biggest mistake this weekend wasn’t sticking with Heurelho Gomes against Fulham, it was restoring Gareth Bale to the starting line-up. The Welsh left-back has now played seventeen Premier League games for Spurs without tasting victory.

2. While Gomes has become a laughing stock in England for his recent mistakes, his former club PSV Eindhoven are struggling in his absence. After eleven games last season they had lost just once, conceding six goals but this year they have already lost five, conceding twelve.

3. This is now Liverpool’s most successful start to a Premier League season ever and their best start to a campaign since 1990-91, although they ended up finishing second on that occasion.
