Pre-match discussion thread.

Preview

Should be an interesting one this.  Portsmouth are riding high in the Premiership in 4th place with 23 points compared to the reds 21.  A win for the reds therefore would help significantly in terms of league placing. 

Portsmouth have lost 1-0 today away at Newcastle so they may be stung in to a good away performance against us on Wednesday.

Pompey won their first two league away games this season: at Middlesbrough 4-0 and Charlton 1-0, but since then have struggled on their travels - going down 2-1 at Spurs, 2-1 at Chelsea, 3-0 at United and today 1-0 at Newcastle.  Liverpool will need to be near their best to win the game however, as apart from United they have had a good go at the home sides.

Kanu has been on fire for Pompey - scoring 8 Premiership goals for Harry Redknapp's boys. 

Historical Stats

Portsmouth have played at Anfield 28 times.  The reds have been victorious on 14 occassions with 10 draws.  Pompey have left as winners 4 times.

The last time Portsmouth won at Anfield was 55 years ago in 1951 when they ran out 2-0 winners.

Last seasons fixture saw the reds win 3-0.  It was last November, and Zenden, Cisse and Morientes were the scorers.

Must win game my friend if the titles coming to anfield this season.

Never thought much of pompey up untill this current season. A 2-0 win will be good enough for me.

Not after todays result, looks like another win for the reds   

Portsmouth were very poor today, and I expect them to be alot better on Wednesday. We should win but it wont be easy.............2-1 to the 'Pool, Gerrard and Kuyt to score 

This is going to be atop game.......down here they're not showing it (they're showing Watford v Sheffiel United?!???), so will try and watch it online hopefully, whilst at work....looking for a Gerrard double, keep Kanu quiet and a 2-0 win to the Mighty Reds 

AussieRed  i hope your can see it because these next few games are really really important

must win game, and who'd of thought us saying that against Pompey?
a win sends us up potentialy into a champs league spot, and then we can push forward from there.
maybe it's what the lads need, some light at the end of the tunnel and that elusive away win can be found at weekend.
3 - 0 to the reds.
Gerrard, Agger and Kuyt

This will be a tricky game,both teams have alot of injuries.Pompey can be`an awkward team.Where can i watch this game?As sky are showing chelski versus that rugby team bolton.

3-0 To us,
Alonso
Gerrard
Fowler
To score...

Is there tv overage or net coverage anywhere?

2-0 Liverpool

end to end first half 0-0 half time
Kuyt scores 54th minute and Gerrard scores again 79th minute 2-0 

Because of our massive injury list i think its time to give some players a run.. maybe commin off the bench for 10 - 20 minutes!

Nabil El Zhar & Paul Anderson to be benched?
