Liverpool are stuttering at the moment with three consecutive away losses to their name. Rafael Benitez is feeling the heat right now and a defeat today will sure seal his Anfield era to a close. The Reds have really struggled for form in the last month or so, failing to score a single in their last three way games. They were missing their talisman Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres for the game at Sunderland on Saturday but today, they will have their captain back against Lyon, in a must win game for the home side. Generally speaking though, the Reds do excel at home and only visitors Aston Villa have taken any points off them at home this season.


Lyon also did lose in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday but generally their form heading up to this match is pretty decent. I will continue to take the Reds to win this game because I believe there must be some harsh words made over the weekend and I sense a response from the red half of Merseyside. Go for the home side to defeat the French champions, and it will not be a better time to back the home side with such an attractive price.

Pick: Liverpool -1.25 @2.65
