Paul Dickov insists his Oldham side will look to attack when they chase an FA Cup upset against Liverpool on Friday night.
A second-round replay victory over Southend at Boundary Park in December booked a mouthwatering trip to face Kenny Dalglish's side for the Latics, who currently lie 14th in League One.

Liverpool youth player Raheem Sterling has signed his first professional contract with the club.
Sterling turned 17 on the 8th December, and Liverpool wasted no time in tying down the exciting prospect to a pro-contract.
"The talented winger joined from Queens Park Rangers in February 2010 with a reputation for pace and flair.

We continue our Five Days of Football League build-up with a focus on the archival section of our 108-page overview of the coming season. In putting together the Preview, we wanted to touch upon the writing that we feel best represents our sites by giving selected pieces a second airing.So, kicking the section off on page 66 is Iain Macintosh's ode to Southend, which first appeared on The Seventy

Premier League new-boys Norwich were held to a goalless draw against Southend on Thursday night.

This first trip down to Portland in the MLS era for a Cascadia Cup match between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders will be on familiar ground, but in some ways an unfamiliar stadium. JELD-WEN Field has some significant redesign to it, with some new stands and new experiences. For those fans that traveled down in the past it will both be similar and different.

Liverpool pair Raheem Sterling and Adam Morgan are doing their club proud for the England Under-17s at the World Cup in Mexico.
Sterling stuck the second in England's opening group game against Rwanda and on Wednesday club team-mate Morgan headed John Peacock's side ahead against Canada.
The 16-year-old Morgan has had a season to remember at Liverpool, after going on a run of 17 goals in 12 games, including a goal on his reserve team debut.

Yesterday marked the end of an era at the Den. Neil Harris' departure for the northern shore of the Thames Estuary brought to an end a second spell in Millwall blue and put a downer on many a Millwall supporter's afternoon.It had been obvious for some time that we were watching a club legend in action.

The appeals for both Luke Foster and John Mousinho's red cards received in last Saturday's defeat at Northampton have been thrown out by the Football Association. The news comes as a huge blow for Graham Westley who must now prepare for this weekend's crucial encounter with Bury without two of his most "in form" players.

The play offs were supposed to leave everything hanging in the balance but as we enter the final weekend of the regular season, too many issues have been resolved and Murdoch's boyz must be agonising about their hit rates and advertising revenue. They've missed out on a straight shoot out between Cardiff and Norwich after the former collapsed against Boro, they've seen those Peruvian shirted

Michael Ngoo's penalty earned Liverpool under-18s a point at Sheffield United and kept up their hopes of finishing top of the Group C table in the Barclays Premier League.
Rodolfo Borrell's youngsters are now five points behind Everton and must win both their final two matches to go ahead of Everton at the top.

The term must win is used too much over the course of the season, but tomorrow's game at Sixfields is just that for both ourselves and Northampton. Three points for the Cobblers would probably all but confirm their safety and a place in next season's League 2 with so many other sides nervously looking over their shoulder into the non-league trap door.

It is said that true winners are seen not in victory but in how they react to defeat. By that truism, it will be interesting to see what happens next after Liverpool's defeat in the quarter final of the FA Youth Cup.
This was a disappointing game for Liverpool; disappointing not because of the nature of the defeat or the name of the opponents but because of the way that the team played.

After his five-star FA Youth Cup show, Raheem Sterling helped Liverpool under-18s make it six of the best with a 4-1 victory over Stoke City at the Kirkby Academy on Saturday.
Rodolfo Borrell's side made it six wins in a row and stretched their unbeaten run to nine matches as they continue their quest for honours on two fronts.

Raheem Sterling grabbed a brace and Conor Coady hit a thunderbolt as Liverpool U18s made it six straight wins with a 4-1 triumph against Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool wunderkind Raheem Sterling racked up an impressive tally of five goals in Monday's 9-0 FA Youth Cup rout of Southend and, by way of reward for his progress at the Kirkby academy, looks nailed-on to be named amongst the substitutes for the first-string's Europa League tie with Sparta Prague this evening after earning himself a spot on the flight out to the Czech Republic.

His former coaches think 16-year old wonderkid Raheem Sterling development as a footballer is at the same level as Wayne Rooney at the same age. Raheem has been likened to Arsenal's Theo Walcott but it is said Sterling is even better than Walcott. A fast, pacey attacking midfield player who can "pass, shoot, head, score goals, tackle, defend" according to his Steve Gallen of QPR.

After his, pardon the ghastly pun,sterling performance in Liverpool's 9 - 0 win over Southend in the FA youth cup,Raheem Sterling has been put on the Liverpool squad for their game against Sparta Prague in the Europa League.
Sterling scored 5 goals in that FA youth cup game - his second being the most brilliant.

Liverpool's starlet Raheem Sterling netted five (5) goals in 9-0 rout of Southend at Anfield.

Robb Heineman continues to give us an inside look at some players that are in camp on trial as preseason kicks off. Yesterday he told us about trialist Julio Cesar Santos, and today he gave us four more names. Two have already been mentioned, the two Trinidad players, Daneil Cyrus and Sheldon Bateau, both defenders.

Rotherham are the visitors this Tuesday night as Boro look to continue where they left off on Saturday. The games are coming thick and fast now as Boro effectively begin their Christmas period after the original fixtures were postponed due to the poor weather at the back end of 2010. This game was initially pencilled in for the 8th January, but our 3rd round tie against Newcastle meant that the game had to be put back.
