Carling Cup hero Craig Bellamy is a big fan of veteran Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, and he's thankful to be playing alongside him during his second spell at Anfield.
Bellamy is never short of an opinion or two, both on and off the field, and he appreciates Carra's honest, no-nonsense approach to life at Anfield:
"Carra's been there for a lot of years and he's big figure at the club.

Squad sheets: Aston Villa v Liverpool

Stewart Downing, who scored the only goal of the game in the corresponding fixture at the end of last season, can expect a hostile reception from Aston Villa supporters on his return to his former club. The England winger has still to score for a Liverpool side that have lost only once in their last 10 league matches.

If Jose Mourinho didn't receive enough punishment by seeing Real Madrid bounced out of the Champions League by arch-rival Barcelona, he surely has now.

Mourinho was handed a five-match suspension and fined about $81,000 by UEFA for his sending off during the first leg of the Champions League semifinal against Barcelona.

You may remember Mr.

Here is Liverpools lineup to face West Brom. Steven Gerrard has been left out of the squad after picking up an injury in training, more on this as it developes. Carragher is also absent.

First XI: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Adam, Lucas, Henderson, Downing, Carroll, Suarez.

Subs: Doni, Maxi, Coates, Kuyt, Spearing, Flanagan, Bellamy.

Both of Liverpool's goals against Chelsea were fantastic, strikes which have an excellent chance of showing up on various best-of-season lists. The first showed the benefits of pressing from the front and quick pass and move football, the second direct football at its finest: a cross-field diagonal opening up acres of space for an attacking full-back bombing forward.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and bet Dempsey and Bellamy aren't talking about where they get their tattoos done.

Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Adam, Henderson, Downing, Maxi, Kuyt, Suarez.

Subs: Doni, Kelly, Carragher, Shelvey, Bellamy, Coates, Carroll.

Newcastle Manager Alan Pardew has heaped praise on Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy ahead of his side's clash with Liverpool on Friday evening.With 3 goals and 4 assists so far this season, Bellamy has been something of a revelation for Liverpool, and Pardew believes he's up there with the very best.

Firstly.Keogh played all game when Cardiff went victorious against their opponents Leeds United. It was Bellamy and Chopra who scored the two goals for the Welsh in the 2-1 win, but Andy Keogh went very close to get one of his own in the dying minutes of the game. Only a fantastic save by Schmeichel [.

Manchester United 3-1 Manchester City (Carling Cup, Semi-Final second Leg, 2009)

After leading 2-1 after the home leg, Manchester City had the impetus to go on to win the tie. However, they led the lead slip as Manchester United turned the game in their favour after two early second-half goals.

Manchester City's quest for Champions League football has suffered a huge blow after star striker and captain Carlos Tevez was ruled out for the next month after injuring his hamstring in Monday night's defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

"Tevez is not available for Saturday," said Mancini, ahead of the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.

There was no shortage of action during the holiday weekend as the USL Pro packed 10 games into four days.

Despite the glut of games, everything is pretty much as it was in the races for the division titles as Orlando City padded its massive lead in the American Division and Rochester clings to a three-point lead over on the National side.

Liverpool has published their 2011/12 Premiership squad.
The squad contains only 19 players despite having an a maximum allocation of 25.
Each club must have a squad containing no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the home-grown player criteria while the remainder must be home-grown.

Internationals. Qualifiers. Friendlies. Fun.

Why signing Bellamy proves Dalglish's absence from the game hasn't dulled his instincts

When Kenny Dalglish returned to Anfield as manager in January, it was his 13-year sabbatical from Premier League management that tended to dominate focus. Cut to eight months later, and that obession over his ability to ‘relate' to the modern game not only seems irrelevant, it now appears slightly silly.

Why Stoke are the window's big winners and Bolton the big losers, plus Arteta, Bellamy and why I fear for Wales at Wembley

Stoke are the big winners of the transfer window, Bolton the big losers. Gary Cahill can now leave the Reebok on a Bosman next summer, so holding out for £17million will hurt Bolton, especially with their big debt.

Forget Arteta, Crouch, Barton or Bellamy. Surely the transfer of all transfers this summer was Brighton's signing of Valencia legend Vicente Rodriguez on a free transfer last week!

Gus Poyet is exactly right to call this signing a "major coup" for the club which already sit top, and needless to say undefeated, after six games in their first season in the Championship since 2006.

Match Preview: Brighton vs Liverpool

Liverpool have the perfect chance to get Sunday's horror show out of their system as they return to their Carling Cup campaign with a trip to Brighton. The Reds haven't won a trophy since the 2006 FA Cup, and as such the Carling Cup has taken on a greater importance, a fact that is likely to be reflected in Kenny Dalglish's team selection for the game.
