Liverpool v West Ham

The Premier League fixtures are completed on Monday evening as West Ham take on Liverpool at Anfield.

If Liverpool harbour serious title ambitions then they need to win tonight and establish a 3 point gap at the top.

West Ham buoyed by a win at Sunderland last week will fancy their chances to frustrate, much like Stoke and Fulham, who both kept clean sheets at Anfield.

On paper this looks like massive home banker even without the injured Fernando Torres.

Despite my reservations about Liverpool's ability to go all the way this season the Reds will surely create enough chances to secure the 3 points.

With Torres out it is time for Robbie Keane to step up and put in a performance. Keaneo has still yet to come alive at Anfield, but he hasn't become a bad player overnight and I expect some kind of spark tonight.

I also like what i've seen of Riera recent weeks, apart from against Fulham when John Pantsil had him in his pocket, the Spaniard has looked dangerous. He does have a goal in him and so I have had a small interest in Player Goal Minutes (spread betting market) for Keane (26mins) and Riera (9mins) at http://www.bethilo.com/

Later I am going to have a good look at the Premier League relegation odds,. With more than 10 teams involved there must be some value around if I can make a couple of solid early investments.
