Venue: Anfield Monday, March 15th 2010 Kick-Off:20:00

Liverpool play host to Portsmouth later this evening in this Premiership League Fixture, which can be seen Live on ESPN with an 8pm Kick Off Time.

A very poor season for Liverpool so far with the Europa Cup their only chance of picking up any trophies and with them having lost to Wigan in their last premiership fixture, their hopes for a top 4 finish is also now very much in the balance.

A win tonight is a must if they are to have any real chance of securing a 4th place finish and Champions League football next season and with home advantage and up against bottom of the table Portsmouth, many people expect them to win this evening.

Portsmouth need a miracle to escape relegation and need to start picking up maximum points from their remaining games. They face a difficult task tonight against Liverpool at Anfield as they have never managed to win their in recent years but with Liverpool playing as badly as they currently are Portsmouth will certainly fancy their chances.

Team News, Match Summary & Free Betting Picks!

Israel international, Yossi Benayoun will undergo a late fitness test to see if he can take part in tonights fixture. Maxi Rodriguez will return having been ineligible for the midweek defeat by Lille in the Europa Cup. Martin Skrtel and Fabio Aureli are still both out injured.

Ricardo Rocha returns to the Portsmouth lineup having served his two game suspension. Aaron Mokoena has been passed fit having recovered from a knee problem. John Utaka is out due to a groin problem and Hassan Yebda and Kevin Prince Boateng are also both out injured.

The bookmakers see this one as a push over for Liverpool and currently have them priced up as extremely poor odds to win. Portsmouth will certainly give it their all and have scored in their last 6 games, so Both Teams To Score @ 2.25 from Paddy Power is well worth backing.

I expect the game to be very tight to begin with and First Goal To Be Scored After 16 Mins @ 1.44 with William Hill, must be taken.

Dave's Prediction:

Draw/Liverpool - Half Time/ Full Time @ 4.80 with with Betfair
