Europe. There are several interesting matches this weekend in the EPL, including unbeaten Tottenham

Premier League Team News - Barclays Premier League - ESPN SoccernetNo certainty of O'Hara playing
for Pompey - I like the thought of him as a cheap option but I'm not willing to go too far out on a
limb until I know how (and if) they intend to deploy him regularly. More a BD option than
something for this week if you ask me (and you sort of did by being here to read this column).
At kick-off on Saturday afternoon, Liverpool and Burnley lined up as equals according to the
Barclays Premier League table. Within a couple of hours, any ideas that such an unlikely equality
could last had been ruthlessly dismissed.
Liverpool scored four times but, such was their dominance as the game wore on, could have
underlined their superiority with several more goals.
Benfica have handed Argentina star Angel di Maria a gold-plated contract in a bid to see off
interest from Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
The winger is about to sign a one-year extension on his contract that will see his buy-out clause
raised from £27million to a prohibitive £45m.
Burned his Villa bridges?
Nigel Reo-Coker has been told to stay away from Villa Park this weekend after Martin
O'Neill sent the player home from training yesterday and dropped him for Aston Villa's Barclays
Premier League home game against Portsmouth today because the pair had a
confrontation.
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has told his team-mates they must take risks if they want to win
the Barclays Premier League this season.
The Reds' title bid has already suffered an early setback after they lost at Tottenham on the
opening day followed by a defeat at home to Aston Villa - and only a 90th minute winner from Steven
Gerrard save their skins at Bolton last weekend.
Peter Gulacsi is hoping his new Liverpool contract will prove to be a stepping stone towards the
Reds' first-team.
The 19-year-old goalkeeper put pen to paper on a new deal last month that will keep him at Anfield
until 2013.
Gulacsi is delighted to have committed his future to the club and, having been named as a
substitute for last weekend's Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton, admits his long-term
ambition is to establish himself in Liverpool's first-team setup.
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher insists the Anfield club are not worried about the threat posed
by Manchester City and Spurs.
Mark Hughes and Harry Redknapp have guided their side's to 100 percent starts - with many tipping
the the early-season pacesetters to break into the top four.
Crewe's Director of Football thinks we should be afraid, very afraid!

of Fifa's decision to ban Chelsea from signing any players until January 2011.

Rafa has another youngster to add to his budding crop of talent.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have sealed a £250,000 deal with Southend United for the transfer
of Michael Ngoo, a 16-year-old centre forward who was also being watched by Manchester United.
Ngoo, who is 6ft 4in and has been likened in style to Peter Crouch, impressed during a recent trial
with United but Liverpool have beaten their North West rivals to his signature after meeting
Southend's asking price.
Keep your chin up, Arsene Wenger... it's Sir Alex Ferguson who has reason for
worry
He [Ferguson] has to convince his stuttering side that they can succeed without Cristiano
Ronaldo and remain among the European elite. And it might just work, even if three of the four
Barclays Premier League games they have so far contested have exposed worrying deficiencies that
could seriously undermine their chances of becoming the first team to win four successive English
titles.

Didier Drogba is facing a spell on the sidelines regardless of the results of a scan on the Chelsea
striker's right calf last night.
Carlo Ancelotti hopes that Drogba is merely suffering from severe cramp after being carried off on
a stretcher during the second half of Sunday's 3-0 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur, but the
manager was planning on resting him for the next three matches in any case.
Graham Poll on diving.
"It was on the eve of the start to the Barclays Premier League season, when Sir Alex
Ferguson spoke with authority and insight. 'Players who cheat are killing the game, not the
referees,' observed the manager of the champions."
Straight of the bat, Poll reveals his bias.
According to previous press reports, Newcastle United's £39m overdraft facility with Barclays Bank
ended on the 31st August and unless some other agreement was reached it was going to be renewed
with only a £10m limit, in line with Barclays' policy for Championship clubs. If reports that the
club owed £20m on that overdraft facility are [.

Rafael Benitez has warned that it is too early to write off Liverpool's Barclays Premier League
title chances.
The Liverpool manager believes his side can build on last month's 3-2 victory over Bolton Wanderers
by embarking on an unbeaten run in the league. Liverpool lost two of their opening three matches,
but Steven Gerrard's late winner secured a 3-2 victory at the Reebok Stadium and Benitez is backing
his side to build on that victory.
From MEN:
CITY forward Robinho has been ruled out for three to four weeks with a stress fracture
just above his ankle.

League.
The Brazilian, City's record signing, suffered his injury on international duty.
Kenny Dalglish claims Liverpool can still prove their doubters wrong and win the Barclays Premier
League this season.
The Reds moved up to fifth in the table on Saturday with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Burnley,
but they have already suffered two defeats in their opening five league fixtures this year,
including a humiliating 3-1 loss to Aston Villa at Anfield.
UEFA have approved plans to bar high-rolling Barclays Premier League clubs from the Champions
League if they spend beyond their means.
Michel Platini has got his way on 'financial fair play' rules that in principle will ban clubs from
spending more than they make from their revenues.
Fernando Torres is sure the English top flight is still the world's greatest league - and is
determined to help Liverpool become its champions once again.
The Reds travel to West Ham in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday as their quest continues to
bring home the trophy that has eluded them for almost 20 years.

Buoyed by their debut Champions League victory, Wolfsburg travel to Gelsenkirchen hoping to turn
around a bad league run. Schalke have had a decent start to the season and will prove tough
opponents for the Wolves.
Rafael Benitez admits Liverpool were hit hard by the two early-season defeats which instantly
halted all title talk on Merseyside.
Liverpool were beaten by Tottenham and Aston Villa in the opening three Barclays Premier League
games, and Benitez said: "It was hard to take when we lost two games so quickly.
Stamford Bridge, London. Sunday 20th September 2009. Barclays Premier League. Chelsea 3-0
Tottenham. Scorers: Cole, Ballack & Drogba. Well I was calling for three points at the Bridge
yesterday by any means, even a scrappy 1-0 win would of done me but the boys went out there and put
Spurs to bed as early as the 63rd minute when Drogba made it 3-0.
Reports in The Mail and The Mirror are suggesting that Newcastle United may be sold by the end of
this week. We've heard it all before of course but one of the newspapers will get it right one day
and maybe it's today. Last week Newcastle issued a statement saying that Ashley's £100m asking
price has [.
Liverpool FC striker Dirk Kuyt says the Reds can make Anfield a more profitable venue in terms of
Premier League points having struggled to break down teams at home last season.
Seven draws against the likes of Stoke, Fulham, West Ham and Hull ultimately cost Rafa Benitez's
side what would have been a first title in 20 years as they finished second, four points behind
Manchester United.

When the Carling Cup Round 3 draw was first made, it was very difficult to
imagine West Bromwich Albion providing much of a competition to
Arsenal at The Emirates. Granted, Arsene Wenger
uses the competition to provide some first-team action to his reserves, but even those teenagers
usually prove to be a handful for the opponents.
Leeds turned the clock back to the start of the decade as they gave Liverpool a stern examination
in third round Carling Cup action last night.
A second-half goal from French striker David Ngog eventually settled the third-round tie in the
Barclays Premier League side's favour but it was the fallen Yorkshire giants who took most of the
plaudits.
