Liverpool vs Reading

15/3- Liverpool have had a great run off late and their performance in the premiership as well as the Champions League has been commendable. They are currently placed on the 4^th position on the premiership points table and the team will be really high on confidence especially after their 0-1 win against Inter Milan last week. This week they get ready to take on Reading while playing at home and the team would be expected to continue their winning run. Reading would not be a walkover for the team from Anfield as in the last encounter between both the sides ended with Reading defeating Liverpool 3-1 while playing at home. But looking at the head to head record between the sides Liverpool have a slight edge as they have won twice out of the three matches played between the sides. The home side is on the 4^th position only due to a better goal difference and hence winning the match would be very important for them.

The last match that Liverpool played in the premiership was against Newcastle and in the home tie they managed a 3-0 victory. Liverpool are in great form as they have won 6 matches in a row and have lost one match in the last ten matches played this season. Torres in the front and Gerrard in the mid field would be the combination that has worked for them throughout the season and the fans would be hoping to see some goals from the two important players. While playing at home they would be hoping to score all the points available from this tie.

Reading on the other hand have managed to register a couple of victories in the last two matches and have managed a spot that is a little clear of the relegation zone and would like to continue scoring points and at least a point from this tie would be of great value for them.

Prediction: 2-1, Liverpool win
