A quick quiz question……What connects Fernando Torres and the date January 21st 2008?
The answer is that it was the last time the Spaniard failed to score in a Premier League game at Anfield.
Since that blank against Villa, Torres has netted in eight successive Premier League home matches, scoring 12 goals.
It includes a hat-trick against Saturday's opponents while he also netted against Boro at the Riverside last season.
So having put four past Gareth Southgate's men last term and bagged the winner at Sunderland last week, the bookies should really be taking evasive action on the man whose goal settled the final of Euro 2008.
Offering 10/11 is asking for trouble and we won't let them get away with it.
Boro should be confident after their 2-1 home win over Spurs and pushed Liverpool in this fixture last season, losing 3-2, so might be able to nick a draw.
But stopping Torres wheeling away in celebration again may prove beyond them.
Verdict: Liverpool 2 Middlesbrough 1
