Five times champions Liverpool know that they must overcome Debrecen to have any hope of reaching the last 16 but they also need Olympique Lyon, who are already through, not to lose against Fiorentina in Italy. Sky Bet is offering 7/4 for Liverpool to beat Debrecen and Lyon to lose. It’s 33/1 for Liverpool to lose in Hungary and Benitez to have parted company with the club by midnight and it’s 4/5 for the Reds to win their remaining two matches in Group E.
Sky Bet’s Tim Reynolds said: “Liverpool shouldn’t have any problems overcoming Debrecen, who have lost all four of their group matches so far. The problem Benitez’s side are going to have is relying on Lyon to get a result against a Fiorentina side that have so far won all their matches at home in Europe.”
Arsenal, who are four points clear at the top of their group and only need a point against Standard Liege to secure passage to the knock-out stages of the Champions League are, 3/10 to overcome the Belgium champions tomorrow (9/2 Draw & 8/1 Standard Liege).
It’s 5/4 for the current Barclays Premier leaders Chelsea to progress the furthest from the five British sides (7/4 Man Utd, 5/2 Arsenal, 25/1 Liverpool and 250/1 Rangers), 11/2 that two English sides contest the final and 16/1 that the final is a repeat of the 2007/08 Man United v Chelsea showdown.
