IT’S incredible that Liverpool remain in the hunt for a Quadruple and they can take the Premier League title race to the final day if they beat Southampton tonight.
I fancied Chelsea to edge out the Reds in Saturday’s FA Cup Final but Jurgen Klopp’s men dug deep to win on penalties, just as they did in the League Cup Final.
A good weekend then became a great one for Liverpool when Manchester City drew at West Ham on Sunday, giving Klopp hope of an unlikely title comeback.
A win at St Mary’s would cut the gap to a point heading into the final day and McBookie make the Reds 4/11 hot favourites with Saints as big as 6/1.
Southampton are in dismal form, taking one point from their last four games, and were hammered 4-0 at Anfield back in November.
But they won 1-0 when Liverpool last came calling and have scored in the last three meetings at St Mary’s, so I’m going for a Reds win with BTTS at 6/4 (McBookie).
I’d expect Klopp to make changes after 120 draining minutes and Wembley and Divock Origi is 7/4 at SkyBet for a goal.
Nottingham Forest could join both these teams in the Premier League next season and lead Sheffield United 2-1 heading into the second leg of their play-off semi.
SBK make Forest 39/29 for another win and that looks good value as they also have home advantage.
Super Singles
- Origi to score (7/4, SkyBet)
- Forest to win (39/29, SBK)
McBookie bet builder
- Combining BTTS at St Mary’s with over 1.5 first-half goals pays 178/100
