Will Steve Kean and company be able to take advantage of a very inconsistent Liverpool in the English Premier League on Tuesday night?
Blackburn Rovers will play host to a sputtering Liverpool squad. Kenny Dalglish and his men have come under serious fire with only one win in their last nine games.
After getting bought out this past summer by New England Sports Group, many Liverpool fans as well as neutral fans had high expectations. A long suspension for Uruguay International Luis Suarez may have conditioned the Reds offense, but even with him back Liverpool has not done well.
They arrive at Ewood Park after a draw at home against Aston Villa over the weekend. Liverpool’s last points away from Anfield were at the Molineux when they defeated Wolves 0-3. Since then, they have accomplished a stunning four game losing streak on the road.
Liverpool is currently sitting eighth in the English Premier League. One thing Reds fan’s wont be happy about looking at the league table is knowing that fellow Merseyside rivals Everton are currently sitting in seventh.
The possibility of Everton finishing ahead of Liverpool in the regular season certainly wouldn’t have been a thought at the start of the season, and now could become reality. That is just another piece of added pressure for Kenny Dalglish and his men going into Tuesday’s match.
Depending on how the other matches go on Wednesday, Blackburn can possibly remove themselves from the relegation zone with a victory on Tuesday. The hosts are currently on a three game skid, and are now looking to take advantage of a dazed and confused Liverpool side.
With Blackburn really needing to grab some points from this match, and Liverpool looking to silence the many critics, what can we expect at Ewood Park?
Liverpool have already confirmed some silverware this season with the Carling Cup victory, although the fans and the board can’t be happy with the league standings. Meanwhile Steve Kean will prepare his squad to pressure the Liverpool players and make them uncomfortable on and off the ball.
Blackburn Rovers vs Liverpool prediction:
I expect a hectic game with Liverpool trying to catch up to Everton, and Blackburn attempting to get out of the relegation zone. Nonetheless, I don’t see this match going any further than a 1-1 draw, but wouldn’t be surprised to see Blackburn pull off another shocker and frustrate King Kenny even more.
