A select round-up of the latest news relating to Liverpool…
Liverpool travel to Manchester United for today’s lunch-time kick-off in the Premier League, with Brendan Rodgers’ side eager to get back to winning ways.
Having slipped out of the Champions League to FC Basel last week, Liverpool’s short-term focus must now be on climbing back up the domestic table as swiftly as possible, starting this afternoon.
In early team news, the BBC reports that Adam Lallana could feature despite having two cracked ribs, while defender Kolo Toure should be fit and available.
Mario Balotelli is also being tipped to feature after sitting out the last six matches.
In other news, two Liverpool players have been speaking ahead of the encounter.
In an interview with the Reds’ official website, Toure has been speaking about the rivalry between the two clubs.
“It’s definitely a really special game,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it. We need to give everything.”
Toure’s teammate Rickie Lambert has also been looking ahead to an encounter that could transform Liverpool’s season if they can claim the win.
“Make no mistake, we’re hurting,” the former Southampton striker said. “But we’re confident we can win the game.”
