Predict Liverpool’s Next Four Results
Liverpool face Manchester United (home), Arsenal (away), Fulham (away) and Lyon (away) in their next four games – and they need a special miracle to take win all four games.
It’s not impossible though – United are not exactly the invincible beast of 07/08 and if Torres is fit he should be able to give the United backline a good scare. The Arsenal game is a Carling Cup game and it’s likely to be Liverpool’s men against Wenger’s boys as grooms the next generation of unfulfilled potential at Arsenal – not exactly the toughest game either.
Fulham are solid but if they couldn’t beat Roma at home last night, they don’t really stand a great chance of beating Liverpool.
Lyon away is the toughest of them all, especially given what’s at stake (Champions League knockout round qualification), but Liverpool have been there and have done that before – the impossible isn’t far away from their grasp, although it will take serious amounts of good fortune and miracle work from whoever takes the pitch.
By themselves, each of these games are winnable – put them all together and you really have a mountain of a task for the Reds.
Here are my predictions for the upcoming games:
Liverpool v Manchester United – draw.
Arsenal v Liverpool – Arsenal win.
Fulham v Liverpool – Liverpool win.
Lyon v Liverpool – Liverpool win.
I don’t see Rafa caring too much about the Carling Cup when the Premier League and Champions League are slipping from his grasp – although it might end up being that elusive trophy he’s lacked for several years.

Listen to this week’s Soccerlens Podcast, where Adrian Clarke and Iain Spragg discuss Liverpool’s problems in detail, preview the Liverpool v United game and also talk about why Rafa Benitez is safe in his job regardless of results in the next couple of games [podcast link].
Liverpool v Manchester United – match abandoned due to poor visibility (caused by beach balls on pitch)
Arsenal v Liverpool – match abandoned due to insufficient Arsenal players as match finishes well past their bedtime.
Fulham v Liverpool – score draw
Lyon v Liverpool – goal-less draw….
all we are hearing is from utd that Liverpool cannot be written off…its all bullshit from the utd camp just in case they lose. UTD HAVE SCABBED WINS THIS SEASON FROM GAMES THEY SHOULD HAVE LOST OR DRAWN, Arsenal,Sunderland, City,
vs united VICTORY
vs arsenal VICTORY

vs LYON DEFEAT
Remeber the great words of the oracle
Liverpool v Manchester United – draw until 90th minute but referee will only blow final wistle until United score winner.
Arsenal v Liverpool – Arsenal win
Fulham v Liverpool – Fulham win
Lyon v Liverpool – here we will have the beach balls. Rafa will be sacked from previous game and will have plenty of time to spend on the beach…
vs Man Utd 0-2
vs Arsenal 1-1
vs Fulham 2-1
vs Lyon 1-1
Mark lad – you could do with a lesson in both spelling and grammar !
If Utd score loads of late goals it is because they play to the whistle !
What everyone is ignoring is that very same opportunity to score a late goal is also given to the opposition !
To say we were lucky against City is laughable – we absolutely played them off the park for the last 60 – sorry 67 minutes – and but for a couple of horrendous blunders by Ferdinand and Foster City wouldn’t have had a sniff !
Liverpool 1 UTD 3
Liverpool 2 Arsenal 3
Liverpool 3 Fulham 2
Liverpool 2 Lyon 1
