With just one win in nine games, and needing a dive to secure a point at home last night, Liverpool’s worst run in a lifetime once again has punters sniffing blood. With it looking increasingly like when not if underfire manager Rafa Benitez leaves Liverpool PaddyPower now offer just 6/4 Rafa has gone by the end of the season. PaddyPower offer 5/1 that Benitez is gone by Christmas Day although it’s 1/2 to turn things around and still be there by the end of the season.
In other bets, the bookmaker has Liverpool at 6/1 to finish behind rivals Everton this season and, having already fallen 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea, the Reds are 6/1 to finish more than 24 points behind the eventual league champions. But should Liverpool supporters still have faith in a dramatic turnaround in fortunes, Liverpool are 40/1 to lose no more league games this season and 14/1 for just one more defeat. Benitez is also 3/1 second favourite in the Premier League Sack Race behind Hull’s Phil Brown at 4/5.
How Long Will Rafa Survive?
