David N’gog plays well in this competition while Fernando Torres seems to have improved his shape. N’gog is priced @ 7.50 for a first scorer and 3.20 at any time, while Fernando Torres is priced @ 5.00 for first scorer and 2.30 to score at any time.
Although this seems like a 3way game and it’s hard to predict which way the game is going to go, I think that Liverpool generally plays well in this tournaments. Roy Hodgson also has expirience with Fulham last year, leading them to the Final, which unfortunately they lost. Although risky, I am going to go here with a victory for ‘Pool.
