CAN IT BE A PERFECT 10?

SKY BET are offering a bit of a sneaky bet at the moment - 9-2 that the Reds go the first ten games of their Premier League campaign unbeaten.
I say sneaky, because on the surface it looks a decent punt given our boys lost just two games in the Premier League last season.
I'm sure many will be drawn in, but a look at the fixtures shows why this one should be approached with caution.
Spurs (a), Stoke (h), Villa (h), Bolton (a), Burnley (h). So far, so good you might think.
But look at the next five: West Ham (a), Hull (h), Chelsea (a), Sunderland (a), Man United (h).
After our superb performances againt Chelski and the Mancs last season there's no reason we can't play the pair of them off the park again.
But suddenly 9-2 for this bet doesn't look so good...
