Liverpool were at their usual attacking best midweek as they went 5-0 up against AS Roma in their Champions Leagues semifinal first leg. They, however, lost concentration in the closing ten minutes and conceded 2 goals to give the Romans hope of another stunning comeback. Their Wednesday return leg against Roma in the Champions League could see many star men rested in this game, even at that it is hard to see Stoke City leave Anfield with even a point from this game.
The Reds have only two losses from 14 Premier League games this year, winning 9 of those games. They have failed to win at Anfield only once this year, winning 7 and drawing one home league game. They have netted 27 goals in those matches and only Manchester City have scored more league goals than them this season.
Stoke City have conceded 65 goals this season and they have managed to find the back of the net just 32 times all season round. The Potters are in relegation troubled waters with 4 points separating them from safety and three league games to go. They managed to get a point in their last league game at home to Burnley, but they are yet to win a league game since January and they have not won an away games since October.
