What a game this weekend, with the last 2 unbeaten teams in the Premiership going head to head on a ground that the home side has a no loss record for nearly 4 years.
Both teams have been scoring goals, so only a brave person would predict a 0-0 scoreline, while I admit it has been left to this man to score the all important winners in the last couple of games, goals having been arriving from all positions.
Last week Chelsea fielded a weakened side and still won 5-0 away from home while Liverpool left it very late again to snatch a 3-2 home win against Wigan. Clearly missing Torres will be a massive blow, but let's not forget we beat Manure with both him and Captain Stevie missing.
My main concern is defence, with Agger only just returning after a long time away, he has yet to hit the high spots and has been guilty of a couple of blunders which have cost us dearly. Against Wigan he was clearly at fault for the first goal and in midweek against Madrid, where was he when they scored, I couldn't see him?
Otherwise we have only a few niggling injuries that should see the rest of the squad all available.
I don't claim to be the best in the world when predicting scores but I still feel that there will be goals in this game and a likely result of a 2-2 draw feels just about right to me.
