Perez The Thought
Rafa could ultimately be the man to put paid to his former club's title bid. On balance, Liverpool should have enough to keep the heat on City but another Spaniard on hot form could make it a tough night for the Merseysiders.
The bookies clearly don’t think Liverpool will feel any ill effects from an ultimately harsh night at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, based on the 4/11 most firms are offering on yet another Reds win.
But that’s a big call with Newcastle a capable and combative outfit, and it’s not out of the question that the title race could effectively end before City take to the pitch again. I’m not predicting that, but a best price 9/2 with Bet365 on Ayoze Perez scoring anytime is too good to ignore.
The Spaniard is on the form of his life after 5 goals in his last three appearances as his partnership with Salomon Rondon really blossoms.
The pair have 22 goals between them in the top flight now but at the current time we have to side with the bargain £2m signing from Tenerife.
