Out of all the top teams in the Premier League it is Liverpool that would appear to be the team that the teams lower down the league have a good chance of getting some points off. There is always one team that starts off fine and then suddenly for no apparent reason stall and once this happens it is very hard to get going again, which is why other teams can nick a point or maybe all three.

For Liverpool this is a very dangerous time to be in. We have a situation where over the next eight weeks there is a long run of games, and in fact this period can make or break of season for a team. In Liverpool’s case too many loses could result of them heading towards the bottom and coming out the New Year in that position would be very difficult.

The next game for Liverpool is away at Newcastle, this is never an easy match for any team, but the Magpies could fancy themselves for all three points on Saturday which would wound Liverpool making it harder for them to fight back in the next game and so on, the rot can quickly get a hold.

However there is one saving grace from Liverpool, that is Newcastle are coming back from a 4-1 beating by Portsmouth so they will have that on their minds.

The game will be close, but I have to give this one to Newcastle.
