Ang3L:


Torres is back! He was rested in the match against Wigan last midweek. Only played for about 27 minutes, he scored the winning goal against Wigan. He's set to start the match today and ready to score more goals. Further more they only face the rock bottom wanna be Portsmouth. Generally Liverpool have no fitness problem for this match. Glen Johnson who's doubtful also has passed late fitness test and ready to play today. Only Riera and Babel looks like will miss this match. But it will be no problem since Kuyt, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Torres, and N'Gog are in a good condition.

Portsmouth have no player problem, but they have a problem with their form. They're still in the bottom of the table with only 11 points gained in 17 matches. They're 1-1-3 in their last 5 matches.

Liverpool's form in the last 5 actually not so good for a big team. But, with Torres' return, I believe they will win this match easily. I expect a big win for Liverpool. Further more they also need a win to defend their position in the Europa League zone. They could slip to the 8th place if they fail to win this match.

Same analysis with the Manchester United one. -1 should be safe enought to take. 3-0 for Liverpool.
