Liverpool ‘s Steven Gerrard will be on the pitch tomorrow after he suffered a minor thigh injury during their disappointing Champions League 0-0 draw against Standard Liege on Wednesday. If this match is any indication of things to come this season for Liverpool, heads may roll. Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt promised “We will not play as badly as that again, we must improve and we will improve.” There are doubts over Xabi Alonso and Yossi Benayoun following minor muscle injuries resulting from their CL match. However big name stars Torres, Kuyt and Keane are ready to rock n roll. Liverpool is 8-1 SU against Sunderland and 3-0 SU on the road since the 1993-94 seasons.
Sunderland has one win over five time Champion League winners Liverpool, which came at home. They finished 15th last season and after hunting down players to sign in the offseason they have bolstered their squad. Pascal Chimbonda, El Hadji Diouf, Teemu Tainio and Steed Malbranque have all been brought in by Keane this summer but further signings are likely to be needed if the club is to improve.
