It’s Premier League match time at Anfield as Liverpool get set to host West Ham United in match week 14 on Saturday, November 20.

This is a must-win game for both teams. Liverpool had a four-match winning run cut short last week when they slumped to a 2-0 loss against Stoke City. A defensive lapse saw Stoke score their first goal off a long throw.

To be fair to the Merseysiders, the Potters’ second goal was a result of Kyrgiakos used in an attacking role in search of an equaliser, thereby leaving themselves vulnerable to a counter attack that ended in a goal by Kenwyne Jones off a Jermaine Pennant pass.

Barring Reina between the posts, few players – Lucas, Gerrard and Torres — stood up to be counted on a day Stoke overwhelmed the Reds with their energy to carve out their first league win against the Anfield squad in 26 years.

West Ham have stayed at the bottom of the heap for 13 match weeks and manager Avram Grant’s job is at stake with wins remaining elusive. The Hammers played out a goalless draw against Blackpool at home, last week, a pointer to the inability to score wins against weaker teams to offset bad results against stronger ones.

In the West Ham game, other than Scott Parker who was outstanding in midfield, and Green, efficient as ever between the posts, only Noble came up to par; others like Pablo Barrera were so poor as to raise questions as to their presence in the top-flight.

The Upton Park side need to do things very differently to turn things around with two thirds of the season remaining to be played, and Grant’s departure could well be one of those things.

Ahead of the game, a recurrence of Kuyt’s ankle problem in the Stoke game is a concern for Hodgson, while the Liverpool manager will welcome the return of Fabio Aureles from injury groin and Achilles problems that have kept the Brazilian out of action since August.

Kuyt was sidelined for a month with ankle ligament injuries; the Stoke game was only his third after his return to Premier League action. Liverpool will also be without Lucas, red-carded in the Stoke game.

Liverpool’s starting eleven against Stoke comprised Reina, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Konchesky, Meireles, Lucas, Gerrard, Maxi, Torres and Kuyt; Roy Hodgson also employed Ngog and Babel, as substitutes.

The following men were in West Ham’s starting eleven against Blackpool: Green, Jacobsen, Upson, Gabbidon, Ilunga, Boa Morte, Noble, Parker, Dyer, Obinna and Piquionne; Barrera, Cole and McCarthy featured as substitutes.

Liverpool had a disappointing 2009/2010 season. They finished at seventh place and barely make it to the Europa League, the second tier of the European competition. They completed the season on 63 points, 23 points behind Chelsea, winner of English Premier League. It was a disaster for them after an amazing 2008/2009 season, which they finished second behind Manchester United. They were challenging closely with Manchester United for the title that season. Liverpool was not able to carry on the momentum to last season and failed miserably. Rafael Benitez, Liverpool coach, leave the club to join Inter Milan.

The club appointed Roy Hogdson to take over his position. Hogdson main task this season is to rebuild the club confidence and ensure that their star players, especially Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, do not leave the club. Currently, he managed to secure the confidence of their players to remain at the club. In addition, the club successfully secures the service of Joe Cole. Joe Cole’s creativity should enhance Liverpool attacking ability for the new season. Furthermore, they also signed Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen for a transfer fee of around 6 million euros.

Liverpool standing in EPL for the last decade.

2009/2010 – Seventh

2008/2009 – Second

2007/2008 – Fourth

2006/2007 – Third

2005/2006 – Third

2004/2005 – Fifth

2003/2004 – Fourth

2002/2003 – Fifth

2001/2002 – Second

2000/2001 – Third

It has been a disappointing decade for Liverpool, considered as the most successful club in England. Their best position in the league is second place on two occasions. Roy Hogdson task is to bring back the glory days of Liverpool Football Club.

Ahead of every new season, we are all asking «who will our team sign»?

See what you think of my predictions:

Fernando Torres

Liverpool > Chelsea

With Liverpool now failing in all areas Fernando Torres will want to start winning trophy’s and he knows that Liverpool FC is not the place, there were rumours of a Barcelona move however that will not happen now and he would never join Real Madrid.

Chelsea are successful and looking to build on that, With Drogba and Anelka at 30-31 years old they will be moving on within the next 2 years therefore Torres will take the mantle.

Approx Fee – £40 Million

Karim Benzema

Real Madrid > Manchester United

It is well known that Sir Alex is a fan of this young Frenchman and he showed promise at Lyon however has had a tough season in Madrid, one bad season in Madrid is normally the end and I expect the same result here. Man united need striker’s with Berbatov not performing and Owen injured invariably it rests on Rooney’s shoulders.

Approx Fee – £22 Million

Cesc Fabergas

Arsenal > Barcelona

If this does happen i would be shocked, Fabergas has publicly stated his desire for the move and when that happens you cannot stop it, it would be another fantastic signing following David Villa to the Nou Camp, as it happens he would join the other Spain Internationals such as Puyol, Pique, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Pedro.

Approx Fee – £40 Million

Wesley Sneijder

Inter Milan > Chelsea

I write this article pre WC final however regardless of this fact he has had a fantastic season and a great World cup campaign, he has matured in the talent that was showing promise in his Ajax days, Scoring Goals from all angles and distances including dead ball ability he has fast become hot property.

With a host of big clubs interested such as Manchester United, City & Chelsea he will have plenty of options.

There is of course a chance that he will stay with the European champions but when money talks players often move.

Approx Fee – £35 Million

Maicon

Inter Milan > Real Madrid

What a signing this would be. In my opinion Maicon is the best right back in the world, he has everything including goals. Although he has has had league and European success i suspect he will fancy a new challenge and following his former coach to Madrid which would mean Sergio Ramos moving into central defence should the move happen.

It is a glamour move and the Spanish league is a faster pace which will suit Maicon’s game.

Approx Fee – £25 Million

Edin Dzeko

Wolfsburg > Man City

With new manager Steve Mclaren at the helm he needs to funds to change this now faltering team, starting with the sale of Edin Dzeko, the tall striker is a goalscorer in the bundesliga but for fee involved it is risky. The Premier League tends to find players out and i feel it will happen to Dzeko.

We will see.

Approx Fee – £30 Million

Players In

Andriy Shevchenko (AC Milan – £30,000,000), Jon Obi Mikel (Lyn Oslo – £16,000,000), Salomon Kalou (Feyenoord – £3,000,000), Michael Ballack (Bayern Munich – Free).

Players Out

Eidur Gudjohnsen (Barcelona – £8,000,000), Damien Duff (Newcastle United – £5,000,000), Asier Del Horno (Valencia – £4,800,000), Carlton Cole (West Ham United – Undisclosed), Hernan Crespo (Inter Milan – Free), Jiri Jarosik (Celtic – Free), Dean Furman (Rangers – Free), Leonard Pidgeley (Millwall – Free), Filipe Morais (Millwall – Free), Danny Hollands (Bournemouth – Free), Dean Smith (Aldershot – Free), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth – Loan), Anthony Grant (Wycombe Wanderers – Loan).

A season of Premiership dominance was the order of the day last season, with Chelsea winning the league by eight clear points. The Blues won 18 of their 19 matches at Stamford Bridge, drew the other and only looked susceptible to defeat after the title was sewn up.

The Champions League eluded manager Jose Mourinho for the second season running, with his side crashing out in the first knockout stage to Barcelona. He has responded by signing two high profile players this summer.

AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko, coveted by some as the world’s best striker, signed for £30 million while Germany captain Michael Ballack arrived on a free transfer from Bayern Munich.

Shevchenko scored 127 goals in 208 Serie A appearances for Milan after bursting onto the scene with Dinamo Kiev in 1997. Ballack has proven to be a goal scoring midfielder, scoring 44 goals in 107 league appearances for Bayern Munich and finding the net 31 times in 68 matches for his country.

A whole host of players have been shipped out of the club as Mourinho chases the grand prize of the Champions League. Hernano Crespo departed for Inter Milan, long serving Eidur Gudjohnsen left for Barcelona, Damien Duff in a shock £5 million move to Newcastle and Asier Del Horno returned to Spain among others.

Verdict

Chelsea have strengthened the squad that already no other team can match with two world class additions. There is no value in it, but they will win the league again at short 4/9 odds.

Arsenal FC also known as ‘The Gunners’ is one of the most popular football club in England and in the World. With 13 Premier League title, 10 FA cups and an outstand record for being unbeaten for an entire season.

Arsenal Football Club was founded in 1886 in North London by the workers of the Woolwich arsenal, hence its name. The club got is current name in 1897. After a few financial difficulties at the beginning of the 20th century, Arsenal won its first premier league title in 1923, followed by a FA Cup final in 1930.

Arsenal’s most famous manager Arsene Wenger, was appointed in 1996. He brought new strategies, training methods as well as new players from overseas. Over the years, Wenger, who hold an economics degree and is fluent in 5 languages, has really given the dimension Arsenal has today. He lead the team to a League and Cup double in 1997-1998 and another Premier League title in 2001-2002. His major achievement was the Premier League title in 2003-2004, which was acquired without losing a single game. This record has still to be beaten.

Arsene Wenger has not only been a talented coach, but he has also helped the club to achieve financial profitability. Wenger is really good at spotting young talent, training them and selling them for a profit.

Arsenal is also famous for its Emirates Stadium. Since 2006, Arsenal FC has moved from Highbury, which had size restrictions to Ashburton Grove renamed Emirates Stadium. The move has offered huge opportunities to generate revenues from the audience, with a capacity of 60,355 seats.

Arsenal FC would have been nothing without its talented players. Thierry Henry is still the club’s top goal scorer with 226 goals in all competitions. The team has also had Ian Wright, Cliff Bastin, Robert Pires in its squad.

In 2011, Arsenal is currently 3rd in the Premier League at 2 points from Chelsea, the current leader. They have recently lost against Tottenham in the derby. Arsenal is also playing the Champions League and is top of its group. In 2011, Arsene Wenger has announced the club needs to win something, so there is a bit of pressure on the players.
