The Premier League’s late Saturday kick-off sees Crystal Palace travel to Liverpool for Steven Gerrard’s last competitive outing at Anfield. With tickets changing hands for north of $15,0000, expect a Stevie G Lancashire love-in as 40,000 Scousers pay homage one last time to the greatest player never to win the Premier League.
Sentimentality aside, there’s little riding on the fixture from Liverpool’s perspective. They’re six points behind fourth placed Manchester United with a markedly worse goal difference and just two games of the season remaining. Similarly, Alan Pardew’s Eagles sit pretty in 12th, safe for another season on the BPL gravy train. Will they travel north intent on spoiling the final act of the Great Gerrard Farewell Tour, or pliantly roll over?
Regardless of the result, it will undoubtedly be a poignant moment in Premier League history, as one of England’s finest players takes his curtain call from the elite level (sorry, MLS). If both teams embrace the occasion for what it is, there could also be a generous helping of entertaining football to boot.
