Latest pick 11.05 15:00 Liverpool - Newcastle United Liverpool vs Chelsea On Sunday, 11th May 16:00 CET Liverpool FC will host Newcastle United at Anfield for Round 38 of the 2013/2014 English Premier League. The hosts must win here to have a chance at claiming the title, while the visitors will be keen on finishing on a positive note. Liverpool took a severe blow to their title hopes last time out in a 3-3 draw to Crystal Palace. The Reds had taken a 3-0 lead headed into the last 15 minutes of play. But a furious comeback from the hosts brought the match back level in stunning fashion, meaning the Reds will now need to win on Sunday and have Man City lose at home to end their 24-year league title drought. Luis Suarez netted the third goal in that match in what appeared to be a cakewalk for the Reds. Currently tied with Cristiano Ronaldo (Man U) and Alan Shearer (Blackburn) at 31, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Suarez break the record after such a stellar campaign. However, Liverpool still possess very realistic title hopes with Man City facing a potentially tricky fixture against West Ham, so expect the hosts to come out firing on all cylinders here. Key midfielder Jordan Henderson returns from suspension and offers this team a balance that they desperately lacked in the 3 matches he missed. Newcastle travel to Anfield having finally ended their 6-match losing streak in which they managed to score just a single goal. Defeating Cardiff City at St. James’ Park 3-0, the Magpies scored more goals in that match than in their previous 8 games combined. The January sale of French playmaker Yohan Cabaye has proven a massive detriment to a team that had a very good first half of the season. Admittedly, it was a move with the future in mind, as their position in the table was very comfortably above the relegation zone at the time, and now Newcastle should be in a strong position to add a few key pieces and cut some deadwood in the summer. Whether those decisions will be made with Alan Pardew’s input or not is yet to be seen, but the Englishman should be back next season. However, there’s still a match remaining to be played, and the Magpies would love to spoil Liverpool’s title chances as well as end their up-and-down season on a victorious note. Newcastle were finally able to end their losing streak with a 3-0 home victory over Cardiff City last time out. Liverpool still have a slight chance at the Premier League title and will need to win here at home. Furthermore, Jordan Hendersonreturns from suspension and is a key cog in the Liverpool setup. TIP: 1 The bet365 odds for this match are still quite good, so dont hesitate to put your bet on your favorite team.
