TEAM NEWS

Manchester City

James Milner could make his debut for City after completing his switch from Aston Villa this week, but fellow summer signings Aleksandar Kolarov and Jerome Boateng are injured, while Wayne Bridge is also a doubt.

Mario Balotelli looks likely to recover from the knee problem that saw him limping after his first appearance against Timisoara in midweek and could start.

Possible Starting XI: Hart; Richards, Kolo Toure, Kompany, Zabaleta; Yaya Toure, De Jong; Milner; Tevez, Balotelli, Silva.

Liverpool

Roy Hodgson rested a host of first team players on Thursday who are likely to return to the starting lineup, including Javier Mascherano, who could return after a calf injury. Daniel Agger, however, is struggling with concussion.

Fernando Torres may also get his first start of the season after appearing as a second half substitute against Arsenal and Trabzonspor. Joe Cole begins a three-game suspension after his red card against the Gunners.

Possible Starting XI: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio; Mascherano, Poulsen; Kuyt, Gerrard, Jovanovic; Torres.

Poolman SG

SO sad to see Liverpool like that , they looked like minnows against Man City .

No sparks , no creations , no penetrations , no organisations , no control , etc .....

Lucas , once again , cannot make it in a Liverpool jersey la .

Why are we sticking with Dirk Kuyt and Lucas ?

And Ngogu ?

Except for Gerrard and Reina , i felt the rest can be sold .

MANCHESTER UNITED FC SG

Liverpool have a glowing optimism around them recently, having a couple of wins(not solid one though) and new players coming in.

but their results aren't that good..

Ah Roy have bought a few midfielders and should have try out aquaman.

I am not sure whether Ah Roy is too worried to be adventurous with the team.

The way the things are moving is in dire straits.

The existing chairman have better bring back the $$$ before the transfer date is closed.

Or else Torres and Stevies should be leaving hand in hand by the end of the season.

Poignant SG

the thing is, roy is fielding the same way as rafael did. what dirt kuyt on the right, agger left back, playmaker behind torres. what's the use of asking rafael to go away and bringing roy in if all this dont change?
