number of Sunday newspapers today.

summer departure following the disastrous campaign so far.

Several sources today says that he will play. He has trained the last three days without any

Can the real Liverpool team please stand up? A week after beating Spurs 2-0 at home and looking
once again like contenders for that 4th Champions League spot, Liverpool traveled to Wolves and
could only manage a 0-0 draw.

conference.
Liverpool Managing Director Christian Purslow today confirmed the club could have new investors

of which there are several.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has told the club's fans he "will be fighting until the end" after a
1-1 draw at Stoke which means he remains under pressure.
Benitez had to dismiss claims that captain Steven Gerrard had been involved in a dressing-room row
with his assistant Mauricio Pellegrino at half-time during last Wednesday's FA Cup humiliation at
the hands of Reading.
Liverpool FC co-owner George Gillett believes Rafa Benitez is one of the top five managers in the
world and that this season's disappointing results are just a "blip".
The club have endured a difficult campaign so far and have fallen well off the pace in the Barclays
Premier League, compounded by early exits from the Champions League and FA Cup.

Carlsberg, the outgoing shirt sponsor of English soccer club Liverpool FC, will launch a £30
million Fifa World Cup-themed marketing campaign that will be its biggest marketing investment of
2010.
The deal comes after Carlsberg lost its long-term place as Liverpool's shirt sponsor. The Anfield
club, owned by American businessmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett, will be sponsored by bank
Standard Chartered from the summer, having secured a significantly greater contract than the
Anfield club had ever managed to get out of its previous sponsor.
Defenders Fabio Aurelio and Philipp Degen will both miss the Barclays Premier League clash at home
to Bolton.
Aurelio has missed the last two matches with a minor knock while Degen (calf) did not play in the
midweek goalless draw with Wolves.

Gerrard has reported no after-effects from Tuesday night when he made his comeback after a
hamstring problem.
