Liverpool vs Fulham Match preview 1.5.2012

2012-04-30T21:02:00.002-07:00

Liverpool

Liverpool return to Anfield after an extremely impressive 3-0 win at Carrow Road at the weekend, where Luis Suarez starred. The Uruguayan should start again, while Andy Carroll could come back into the lineup.

Kenny Dalglish has been rotating his squad lately, with his priority undoubtedly the upcoming FA Cup Final against Chelsea. Spearing, Henderson and Skrtel could all return to the lineup, with the likes of Bellamy and Shelvey likely to drop out.

Charlie Adam is going to miss the rest of the season, so it will be important for Dalglish to keep his central midfielders - in particular captain Steven Gerrard - fit and fresh for the big game at Wembley. There is a fair chance the Liverpool skipper will be rested.

Probable lineups : Reina, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Downing, Spearing, Henderson, Kuyt, Carroll, Suarez. (4-4-2).

Fulham

Martin Jol may re-think his team selection after the poor performance his side put in on the blue side of Liverpool at the weekend. They lost 4-0 and looked distinctly below par, so changes may well be made.

Danny Murphy could return to the starting XI, which could see Moussa Dembele return to a wider position. Stephen Kelly is a doubt with the wrist injury that kept him out of the trip to Everton, so Aaron Hughes is likely to retain his place at right-back.

Probable lineups : Schwarzer, Hughes, Hangeland, Senderos, Riise, Duff, Murphy, Diarra, Dempsey, Dembele, Pogrebnyak. (4-4-1-1).

Prediction

Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool face their second cup final of the season at the weekend, and will certainly have more than half an eye on the trip to Wembley. That could mean changes to their line up, but at the same time, they face the prospect of finishing below arch-rivals Everton in the league for the first time since 2004/05. That thought, in front of their home support, should be enough to spur the team on.

Three points for Fulham would put them level on points with tonight's opponents, Liverpool, but the abject display at Goodison Park at the weekend certainly seemed to suggest that Fulham do not feel they have much to play for and are ready for the season to end. They stand an outside chance of achieving 7th place but could finish as low as 14th if they play like they did at the weekend. Martin Jol will be keen to ensure his players are more motivated for this game.

Liverpool will be keen to win but will have their thoughts occupied by the weekend's FA Cup final, while Fulham look like they already believe their season is over. These factors, on a Tuesday night game between two teams with little to play for, at the stadium which has seen the fewest Premier League goals this season, could well make for a dull game.

2012-04-30T21:00:00.001-07:00

Stoke

Once again, Stoke have very little to worry about in the way of injuries, with Andy Wilkinson set to miss out again with the groin injury that kept him out of the draw with Arsenal at the weekend.

Salif Diao also missed that game with a hamstring injury and is likely to be absent once again. Tony Pulis will not be forced into any changes and so could stick with the same starting XI this time around.

Probable lineups : Begovic, Wilson, Shawcross, Huth, Sotton, Etherington, Whelan, Whitehead, Pennant, Walters, Crouch. (4-4-2).

Everton

Darron Gibson was forced off at half-time in the win over Fulham at the weekend. Tim Cahill was his replacement then and could come in this time as well.

With Leighton Baines still sidelined, Phil Neville could deputise at left back once again, with Johnny Heitinga in central midfield, as he did at the weekend.

Royston Drenthe has been suspended by the club for disciplinary reasons and is unlikely to feature for Everton again, with his loan deal ending this summer.

Probable lineups : Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Osman, Heitinga, Fellaini, Pienaar, Cahil, Jelavic. (4-4-1-1).

Prediction

This match pits the two teams at either end of the 'middle bunch' of teams in the Premier League who cannot get relegated or qualify for European competition this season. Both teams have little to play for in that regard, but will still be keen to get a result here.

Everton have the motivation of potentially finishing above rivals Liverpool for the first time since the 2004/05 season, while Stoke will feel that they are deserving of a better position than 14th, and will look to take advantage of their game in hand here. A win for the home side would see them jump to 11th position.

Stoke have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 home games, with the 2 draws coming against Manchester City and Arsenal, while Everton have won only 1 of their last 8 on the road, yet have drawn 5 of those. The Toffees have scored 4 goals in their last 3 Premier League games, though, and so there could be goals again here.

Montpellier HSC vs Evian Thonon Gaillard Match preview 1.5.2012

2012-04-30T20:57:00.001-07:00

Montpellier

After the away win at Toulouse, it seems that Rene Girard has no fresh injury worries, but one change will need to be made to the team that faced TFC on Friday.

John Utaka is suspended and will miss one game, youngster Remy Cabella should step in to his spot on the left. Geoffrey Dernis is also still out as he tries to regain fitness after a long term injury.

Young Jonathan Tinham will miss the rest of the season after suffering an injury to his right-foot. He had only played four times this season.

Probable lineups : Jourdren, Bedimo, Hilton, Yanga-Mbiwa, Bocaly, Saihi, Estrada, Cabella, Belhanda, Camara, Giroud. (4-2-3-1).

Evian Thonon Gaillar

Already sidelined through injury, Jonathan Mensah will undergo surgery on his thigh and miss the rest of the season. Also ruled out for the season is Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen, who will miss four weeks with a thigh strain.

His midfield partner Olivier Sorlin is suspended. Midfield options are sparse for ETG. Even though he has been light on options, Pablo Correa has done a great job recentl. With midfielders Wass and Lacour filling in for the full-backs, it would be surprising to see that many changes this week.

Fabrice Ehret and Bertrand Laquiat are ruled out through injury. Evian have suffered a huge blow as they will be without Sidney Govou for the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury.

Probable lineups : Andersen, Lacour, Angoula, Cambon, Wass, Kahlenberg, Leroy, Rabiu, Barbosa, Khelifa, Sagbo. (4-4-2).

Prediction

Lille's 2-1 win over PSG gave Montpellier a five point lead at the top of Ligue 1. Tuesday night's game could see the league leaders extend that gap over their nearest challengers to a massive eight points. With only three games to play afterwards, and PSG facing tough games against Saint-Etienne and Valenciennes - three points on Tuesday could see Montpellier get one hand on Le Championnat.

To heed a warning before fans of La Paillade get too excited, they must go back to the return fixture in Decemeber. 2-1 up after goals from Olivier Giroud and Younes Belhanda, they were then pegged back and truely put in their place by Evian. Saber Khelifa, Cedric Cambon and Brice Djadjedje scored second-half goals and Montpellier were beaten 4-2, handing PSG the lead in the title race.

With so many players missing in the Evian midfield, veterans like Jerome Leroy and Cedric Barbosa will be called upon, and facing Jamel Saihi, Marco Estrada and Belhanda, it could be a tough ask for Pablo Correa's side. Montpellier have a wonderful record at the Stade de la Mosson and it would take a brave man to bet against them.
