English Premier
2009-05-17 - West Bromwich Albion vs Liverpool
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:West Bromwich Albion comes into this match knowing that they can still escape relegation as they tackle Liverpool who are already resigned to the fact that they are second in the Premiership no matter what as Manchester United have already been crowned Champions after their goalless draw with Arsenal yesterday.
So Liverpool will have to wait yet another season to end their 19 year title drought for the Championship after the Red Devils matched their 18 league titles in England.
Wigan approaches this match after the shock 3-1 home victory over Wigan in their most recent outing and that will give them renewed confidence going into this match. Seeing that other results have gone their way, that is Newcastle United losing to Fulham as well as draws for Middlesbrough and Hull City, they are in with a chance to get out of relegation here.
West Brom goalkeeper Scott Carson will hope to feature against his former club but he will have to struggle to displace Dean Kiely, who impressed against Wigan.Tony Mowbray will late before deciding on the likes of Paul Robinson and Marek Cech as both are rated doubtful. Robinson has an ankle problem while Cech limped out of the victory over the Latics with cramp.
Also James Morrison is still struggling to overcome the heel problem which has troubled him in recent weeks while central defender Abdoulaye Meite is out with a hamstring injury.
Liverpool comes into this match knowing that they have yet to concede any goals to West Bromwich and have won seven out of seven games against them. They also scored 22 goals in the process.
As for their team news, there is still doubts concerning midfielder Xabi Alonso, who missed last weekend's win at West Ham after the challenge from Joey Barton in their win over Newcastle. Lucas Leiva is on standby should Alonso not be fit for this clash. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will continue their partnership upfront. Sami Hyypia who is heading to Bayer Leverkusen when the season ends could be offered a chance to play as he ends his career with the Reds.
Take West Bromwich to get a surprise result against the Reds who have nothing to play for in this match.
Cheers and good luck,
