Liverpool will be glad to get back to the Champions League tonight when they entertain PSV Eindhoven in a match likely to decide the winner of the group.
Both sides have already qualified for the next phase, and dispute the top position on ten points apiece, but this is Liverpool’s chance to make the decisive move. Expect them to take it.
Although a best price of 4-6 with Blue Square will hardly set the pulse racing, the Reds have played with far greater fluency in Europe this season than in a stuttering Premiership campaign.
Steven Gerrard is back in a central midfield position, and Dirk Kuyt will welcome the return to Anfield - he has yet to score away from home this term.
Liverpool will have to be on their guard against PSV’s Peruvian striker, Jefferson Farfan, who has scored nine times in ten league games this season, but overall should be strong enough to have the last word.
