Premier League Liverpool vs Stoke City on HDTV? Channel details, kick-off time, team news and match odds
After successive draws against West Ham and Burnley, Stoke’s Premier League existence is hanging by a thread, meaning a trip to Merseyside to play Liverpool is the last thing they need right now.
The Reds have scored 16 goals in their last four home games, conceding just the two scored by Roma in Tuesday’s 5-2 Champions League semi-final victory.
Stoke, by contrast, are on a run of one win in 12 games and have only scored nine goals in total since Paul Lambert took over as manager in mid January.
So have the Potters got a hope in hell of claiming the precious points they need to extend their Premier League status? Well there are pros and cons.

Andre Marriner (West Midlands): The Brummie official is rarely spotted at Stoke games these days, refereeing just two in the past couple of seasons – victory over Arsenal back in August and a draw at West Ham in November 2016. However, Marriner’s first Premier League game involving Stoke saw him disallow an early Steven Gerrard goal in a famous 0-0 draw at Liverpool during the club’s first campaign in the Premier League. We might need a few more than that ruled out this time, Andre.
Up to 50,000 Liverpool fans still can’t see why referee Andre Marriner disallowed Steven Gerrard’s free-kick ‘goal’ against Stoke City at Anfield in September 2008.

What the pundits say
Paul Merson (Sky Sports): This isn’t a great time for Stoke. They’ve been a bit unlucky of late if I’m being honest, they just haven’t been able to get over the line. And this is a hard one because Liverpool are usually a banker, but they are going to rest everybody ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg with Roma. I’m going to go with 2-1 to Liverpool.
Mark Lawrenson (BBC): Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will need their fans to raise them against Stoke, but they are playing so well at the moment that even if they have an off-day I would still back them to win. Stoke badly need a win, but not only do they have an appalling record at Anfield, they are playing a team with such impressive firepower. What do the Potters do? They simply cannot compete if they try to fight fire with fire, and I do not see them holding out and nicking a goal either. I reckon 2-0 to the Reds.
