What does Lawro thinks?. Middlesbrough v Liverpool Middlesbrough just do not come out and attack teams when they play at home. It's more than them just being well organised - it is amazing how disciplined they are and how they keep their shape, especially their three midfielders. The downside of that is that Boro do not pose much of an attacking threat. Liverpool usually do, but they were off the boil a bit in their draw against West Ham on Sunday. when they had lots of the ball. Again, the outcome here depends on what they can do with it. Lawro's prediction: 0-2
What does Paul Merson thinks? Middlesbrough v Liverpool (Wednesday, 7.45pm) The pressure is getting to Jurgen Klopp. Everything was going well at the start of the season, it was all nice and jokey, now he is having a go at Gary Neville because he is giving his opinion. That is what happens, it's the pressure. This is why it's the best league in the world, because anybody can beat anybody on any given day if you don't turn up. That's what happening. Defensively Liverpool are not good enough; can they keep a clean sheet? I will go Liverpool to win just because they are good going forward, but their Achilles' heel is at the back. Other teams will always be in the game against them because they will always have belief that Liverpool will give you a chance. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2
