Back in Pierre-Edouard Bellemare Kids Jersey September Stoke made the trip to Anfield to face a Liverpool side who few doubted would win the game after making a bright start to the season. Liverpool hadalmost thirty shots on that day, but the Potters defence stood firm and the game finished a goalle s draw, a result that provided a huge boost for Stoke, telling us for the first time that we could compete in the Premier League. The contrasting emotions of Liverpool and Stoke fans on that day With form poor for Stoke and morale low, a similar result in this evenings match would provide an even greater lift, as we look to move out of the bottom three in the table. if anything it will be harder this time round though, Liverpool have established themselves as true title contenders and have put in some very impre sive away performances of late, including the whirlwind 5-1 victory at Newcastle two weeks ago. They also have star man Fernando Torres fit to play again, so a truly stern test for the likes of Faye and Shawcro s in the Stoke defence this will be. Liverpool play a brand of attractive fast flowing football that is as effective as it iseasyon the eye. Their one weakne s though, is a lack of widthin the side, with striker Dirk Kuytoften lining up on the wing. This, coupled witha lack of height in attack, means that forcing Liverpool wide a lot, then dealing with the cro ses hit into the box, as we did so well at Anfield, may be our best chance of keeping Liverpool off the scoresheet, as several other clubs have managed to do in recent weeks, and who knows, we may be able to nick a goal or two ourselves. Dave Kitson, SalifDiao and Liam Lawrence areall available for Stoke after recovering from injuries, while Richard Cre swell is available again after serving a ban and winger Matthew Etherington, who signedfrom West Ham on Thursday, looks set to make his debut for the club. Ricardo Fuller is serving the secondgame of his three match ban after striking out at captain Andy Griffin during Adam Foote Men Jersey the 2-1 defeat at West Ham on December 28th. While Torres looks likely to make his first league appearance since November and Javier Mascherano will return to the midfield, Liverpool are without full back Alvaro Arbeloa, who has a hamstring problem, and midfielder Xavi Alonso who has a foot injury.Mascherano, who returns for LiverpoolKey Head-to-Heads:Salif Diao v Steven Gerrard:The former Liverpool man Diao will be hard pre sed to contain petty thug Steven Gerrard, who is usually instrumental to everything Liverpool do going forward. If Stoke can stop Gerrard playing, we will have gone a long way to stopping Liverpool playing, so this battle looks like being of the utmost importance. Dave Kitson v Daniel Agger:Kitsons fit again and its about time he showed us what he can do. Agger, in my opinion, is the weaker of Liverpools centre backs, so hes the one Kitson is more likely to exploit if he is finally going to influence the game in a positive way for Stoke. Andy Griffin v Albert Riera:Trick winger Rieras been on good form for Liverpool recently and with Stoke probably looking to force Liverpool as wide as po sible, Griffin will need to be on top form to stop the Spaniard having too much of a say in proceedings.
