da bwin: If Liverpool played against the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton every week, they would fancy their chances of winning the Premier League on a consistent basis.
da betsson: Indeed, the Reds have a wonderful record against the teams around them, but it is games against the so-called smaller teams in the division where the Merseyside outfit really struggle.
A run of three wins from four Premier League matches between April 1 and April 16 consolidated a top-four position for Liverpool, but the Reds suffered a damaging 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace at the weekend, which has left them in a vulnerable position in the table.
Indeed, fourth-place Manchester City and fifth-place Manchester United are currently just two and three points respectively behind Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League, while the Manchester duo have two games in hand.
Liverpool’s ability to bounce back from a disappointing result will be tested when they travel to Watford in the Premier League on May 1, but the club’s supporters are predicting a damaging defeat for their team at Vicarage Road.
