‘Tourists in Liverpool’
Liverpool Aim for Further European Success Tuesday, February 15th, 2011
Although the season at Anfield has been one of somewhat mixed fortunes. Sparta Prague’s visit to Liverpool is unlikely to be one where the taste of victory is going to be sorely missing from their mouths in what promises to be an appetising tie.
Earlier on in the season, former manager Roy Hodgson’s only real success with Liverpool was a repeat of what he did with Fulham last year by getting easily through the early stages of Europa League Cup. His fortunes in the Premier League however saw him find Anfield’s exit door and replaced by the somewhat galvanising Kenny Dalglish.
Sparta can expect a rough ride from Liverpool during this fixture on February 24 as the new coaching team have already taken the scalps of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea and look set to continue their winning streak at what is looking once again like the Liverpool of old.
Stephen Gerard and Martin Skirtel look set to return for this fixture at fortress Anfield, while striker Andy Carroll may yet prove to be fit to forge a strike partnership with Luis Suarez in their first game together since joining the reds in the January transfer window.
Tactically, the reds should have the edge in this game and this tie is likely to see the former Champions League winners progress further in this competition.
