Liverpool continue their quest for Premier League glory with a home game against Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds tightened their grip on top spot with a last-gasp 2-0 win away at Brentford last weekend.
That victory coupled with results elsewhere has seen Arne’s Slot’s side open up a six point lead at the summit of the standings having played a game fewer than second-placed Arsenal.
After making it seven wins from seven in this season’s Champions League with a 2-1 win over Lille in midweek, Liverpool will be expected to put another three Premier League points on the board at the expense of relegation-threatened Ipswich
The Tractor Boys were torn apart on home turf by Man City last Sunday, suffering a 6-0 trouncing, on an afternoon where one of my Portman Road plays landed.
Consequently, Kieran McKenna’s men remain in the bottom-three and they can expect little respite when they make the trip to Merseyside this weekend.
How the bookies view it: Light work for Liverpool
Unsurprisingly, Liverpool are heavy 1/10 favourites on Boylesports to make it eight Premier League home wins from 11 this weekend. Given that the Reds have won ‘to nil’ in nine of their 15 topflight triumphs this term, a repeat here looks worthy of support at 19/20 on Boylesports.
Ipswich are as big as 20/1 on Boylesports to pull off a huge shock by winning at Anfield, while the draw is also considered unlikely at 13/2 with the same bookmaker.
Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool have taken top honours from 38 of the overall 73 meetings between the pair, including a 2-0 success at Portman Road earlier this season – the same scoreline on Saturday can be backed at 7/1 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Salah back on song
Mohamed Salah ended his mini-goal drought by scoring against Lille in midweek. The Liverpool talisman is just 1/2 on Boylesports to make the net bulge again this weekend.
Ipswich will look to top scorer Liam Delap for inspiration this weekend. The Tractor Boys forward has been priced up at 4/1 on Boylesports for an anytime strike at Anfield on Saturday.
Predicted line-ups
Liverpool's Curtis Jones is rated as a doubtful after coming off at half-time on Tuesday night, while Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez are definitely ruled out.
As was the case last weekend, Ipswich manager McKenna again looks set to be without injured trio Chiedozie Ogbene, Conor Chaplin and Sammie Szmodics.
Liverpool: Allison; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz
Ipswich: Walton; Johnson, O'Shea, Woolfenden, Greaves, Davis; Hutchinson, Morsy, Cajuste, Philogene; Delap
Anything else catch the eye?
Coupling up a Liverpool win alongside under 4.5 goals looks more than fair at 4/5 on Boylesports.
This combination would have clicked in 12 of the Reds’ 15 Premier League wins this season, one of which was against Ipswich earlier in the campaign.
After suffering a 6-0 drubbing last weekend, damage limitation could be the name of the game for the tractor Boys on Saturday, not to mention eight of their 12 top-flight losses this term have featured under 4.5 goals.
