Liverpool vs Barcelona Live

Liverpool vs Barcelona  will start their Premier League clash against Huddersfield on Friday as clear favourites, with the Reds continuing their push for the title against the Terriers.

Huddersfield are already assured of relegation and have won just a single match since December, a 1-0 triumph over Wolverhampton in February. OddsChecker lists the Terriers odds at 25-1, compared to 1-14 for the Reds. A draw comes in at 10-1 (odds accurate as of Wednesday, April 24).




The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports (UK) and NBC (U.S.), with live-stream options available through Sky Go and NBC Live. Kick-off will be at 8 p.m. GMT/3 p.m. ET.

On paper, this should be an easy win for the Reds, who are facing a team that have won just a single match in 2019 and haven't lost themselves since the back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Wolves in January.

Huddersfield have won only three matches all season long. Their 20 goals scored is the worst in the division, as is their goal difference of -49.

But the Reds shouldn't overlook any opponents in their quest to win a first league title since 1990, which is what makes Friday's contest a potential trap game. With a trip to the Camp Nou to face Barcelona on the schedule in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, it would be all too easy to take the Terriers for granted.

Barcelona have already all but locked up the La Liga title and host Levante on Saturday. In all likelihood, they'll rest several key starters, as they did before the return leg against Manchester United in the previous round, a match they comfortably won 3-0.

They won't completely rotate their squad ahead of Liverpool's visit, as they could clinch the title in Spain in front of their own fans:

But manager Ernesto Valverde won't take too many risks, knowing Wednesday's contest could be one of the hardest of the season. Liverpool have been in sensational form, even if Jurgen Klopp has been forced to rely on a few key players a little too often.
