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.

The somewhat revitalised Liverpool football team under manager Kenny Dalglish looks this Sunday to continue the club’s fortunes by extending the run of wins in the Premier league.

King Kenny’s tactics despite being 10 years from management have proven to be spot on for a team that under former manager Roy Hodgson were in danger of relegation. It is quite conceivable that European qualification is now a very real possibility instead of the hope of just finishing mid table above their city rivals Everton.

Although the win last Sunday over Chelsea proved that things are on the up for Kenny Dalglish’s side. Wigan will be out to expose any weaknesses in Liverpool left behind by their former managers signings and of course the absence of the deserting striker Fernando Torres.

Raul Meireles is hoping to get on the score sheet yet again as with every game under the new manager, he has proved lethal when in the 25 yard box and scoring in every game – most importantly at Stamford bridge which saw Liverpool defeat Chelsea at their home ground. Luis Suarez may yet find himself on the bench for Sunday’s game as the now galvanised reds look for yet another win.

Meanwhile Wigan visit Anfield in the hope of spoiling the reds’ rise up the table after playing a blinder of a game at Ewood Park against Blackburn which proved to be a heart stopper for Wigan fans. The club finds itself in the bottom three and in desperate needs of points from Anfield to ensure their stay in the top flight for another season.

Stephen Gerard looks likely to sit this tie as he continues his recovery from a groin strain that saw him miss England’s game on Wednesday. Martin Skirtel will undergo a fitness test for Sunday’s game after picking up a similar injury during the tie on Sunday which again saw Liverpool keep a clean sheet for the fourth successive time.
