Venue -



Stoke transfers -

Jonathan Woodgate (unattached), Matthew Upson (unattached), Wilson Palacios (Tottenham, £6m*), Cameron Jerome (Birmingham, undisclosed), Peter Crouch (Tottenham, £12m).

We can see that they have considerably strengthened..
Big point is that RORY DELAP WILL NOT TAKE PART IN THIS GAME.

Im going for a 2-1 victory but it will be tough ..

Last results away to stoke - 2-0 loss, 1-1 draw and a 0-0 draw.

Should be tough, a good few of our guys were on international duty, too, so Stoke could be more fresh than our guys.

Low scoring game, if we score twice or more I reckon we will win, if we score less than that, a draw or defeat.

Glen is back, Adam is fit.

Kelly looks set to get a rest.

Adam, Glen and Gerrard latest

Kenny Dalglish has revealed he has no fresh injury worries ahead of Liverpool's trip to Stoke City this weekend as he confirmed Steven Gerrard continues to make good progress in his recovery.

The boss expects to have Charlie Adam available for selection at the Britannia Stadium after the midfielder was ruled out of Scotland's Euro 2012 qualifier with Lithuania.

Meanwhile, Glen Johnson has resumed full training following a thigh problem.

Dalglish told his pre-match press conference: "I think we've been pretty fortunate. There doesn't appear to have been anybody come back (from international duty) with any injuries.

"Glen Johnson is training alongside us again now, and Steven is getting closer everyday, so everything on the injury front seems to be pretty positive for us at the moment.

"Charlie should be alright for the game. I think it was right what Craig Levine (Scotland manager) did in not playing him on Tuesday.

"To get him back was commendable of Craig Levine."

Quizzed by journalists for further information on Gerrard, who hasn't figured since March due to a groin problem, Dalglish added: "He's not far away.

"When Steven is ready to come back it will be a fantastic boost for everybody. The transfer window is shut, so for us it will be a real bonus because it will be like a new player coming back.

"As he said himself in an interview on Saturday, everything feels really strong, fresh and he's happy with where he's got to and what he's done - and we're delighted for him.

"He deserves a break from injuries and he'll be welcomed back with open arms."

Now that it seems both Johnson and Adam are fit my line up would be:

Reina

Johnson Agger Carra Enrique

Lucas Adam

Suarez Henderson Downing

Carroll

Subs: Doni , Bellamy , Kuyt , Maxi , Spearing , Skrtel , Robinson

I would start Kuyt over Hendo for this game

Would prefer Kuyt or Bellamy (on the flanks) instead of Jordan with Suarez starting as SS/AM.

This will perhaps be our toughest game thus far. Not just we will be playing Stoke away. It's always a challenge to regain focus after such a break.

An interesting stat i found about Stoke is that they are the team that conceded most goals from set pieces last year.

Carroll is a must i say

I didn't have this excitement in me last year at all when Liverpool were soon to play.....This year i just can''t wait to see the lads get on the pitch and show us some beautiful football

Apparently Kelly and Downing not in training. Hopefuly they're okay. :\

Kelly still has that slight hamstring strain, Doubt he will play with Glen fit..

what's wrong with Downing?

Downing was given a rest after playing nearly two full matches for England.

is nj still alive ? why the hell isn't he posting ?

8 hours to go ....

Lets try to contact him or tell one of the mods to do it..

Any team news??

Liverpool: Reina, Enrique, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Downing, Henderson, Lucas, Adam, Kuyt, Suarez. Subs: Doni, Carroll, Johnson, Maxi, Spearing, Bellamy, Coates.

I wonder if it's Carragher or Skrtel our RB

I'm hoping Skrtel xD

stream anybody?

ffs hendo...

That was brutal to watch.

dominated possession, dominated shots... won every statistic but goals

i guess that's what happens when you concede early and the other team plays 6 defenders and 4 dms the rest of the game.

FML, selling aqua and raul in 1 hit. Adam was really poor, some passes were just awful, and hendo omg.

Dissapointed...

Jamie needs to start getting benched. I'm sick of him getting games because of his legendary status. >.>"

Should of won that.
