Liverpool return to action from their Europa League clash with Trabzonspor by making the short journey to Eastlands to take on Manchester City.

It promises to be a mouth-watering encounter against the big-spending Citizens as Roy Hodgson takes charge of his first league away game for the Reds.

For the past two years, encounters between Liverpool and Man City have been close-fought affairs; three of the four games have ended as a draw, with Liverpool overturning a two-goal deficit to clinch a 3-2 victory at Eastlands in 2008.

The last time City beat the Reds was April 2005 with a late goal from Kiki Musampa.

This game was one of only two defeats that Liverpool have suffered at the hands of Monday's opponents in the last 36 clashes between the pair.

Agger is not fit after last week's concussion. Didn't think Masche would play either, he was 50-50.

But I agree, can't see what Roy is trying to do playing Poulsen and Masche together. Basically we'll be playing 5 players in our third, 4 players in theirs and no one in the middle, if we play that formation.

Ok here is. This Inter fan is in the process of moving to London and needs an English team to support. Liverpool it's gonna be, because an underdog of sorts, a team away from the city of residence and family ties.

So there, expect me to comment whenever I get a chance.

On topic: decent control for now, but we are bound to suffer their counterattack game. Nando needs to be less selfish here.

Really almost nothing from the flanks, be it Jovanovic, Kuyt or Johnson. And it's not like there have been huge tactical or individual errors, which makes everything the more worrying.

What is needed is for Gerrard to keep the good lead from late 1st half coming and for others to get in the game and not **** it up. Obviously can't afford wasting possession. Do that and I am positive something can happen.
