Liverpool will be looking to reclaim top spot in the Premier League when they welcome Huddersfield Town to Anfield on Friday night.
Manchester City's 2-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening sent the Citizens back into first place, one point ahead of Liverpool with both teams having three matches left to play.
The Reds will be looking to put the pressure back on City with a victory on Friday night and it would be a huge surprise if the Terriers, who are already relegated, were able to get anything from the encounter.
Jurgen Klopp's men have racked up nine straight victories in all competitions, extending their unbeaten run to 18 matches, while they haven't lost at home in the league since April 2017 - a massive 38-game unbeaten streak.
Midfielder Fabinho is unlikely to be risked after suffering a head injury against Cardiff last time out, while Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane could be rested with next week's clash against Barcelona in mind.
Huddersfield are already planning for life in the Championship after their relegation was confirmed and they head to Anfield on a seven-game losing run, conceding 18 goals and scoring just five during this dismal period.
The Terriers have only won once away from home in all competitions - that sole victory coming at Wolves in November - and they have lost the last six meetings with Liverpool to nil.
Jan Siewert has confirmed goalkeeper Ben Hamer is unavailable due to a knock but attacking pair Karlan Grant and Adama Diakhaby have both returned to training and are in contention to start.
With only a point separating Liverpool and Manchester City, neither team can afford a single error in what is one of the tightest title races since the 2011/2012 season.
The Reds are well favoured by the bookies ahead of their Friday night clash with already relegated Huddersfield Town. However, at 1/16 they offer absolutely no value.
Liverpool have won nine straight games in all competitions and last lost points in March when they were held to a goalless draw by Everton.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, have lost seven straight games and last managed a victory in late February.
The head to head record is also against the away side with the Terriers losing their last three encounters with Liverpool – all to nil.
In their last 12 away games, Jan Siewert’s men have only managed to claim one point – that came in a 0-0 draw against Cardiff in south Wales.
Bearing all this in mind, the recommendation is to back the hosts. However, in order to find some kind of value, we recommend to back a bet in the total goals market. Between two and three goals to be scored is priced at 17/10 which is considerably better than most other markets.
