Nothing like a warm up challenge for Chelsea. The reds snatch a point after giving Birmingham a 2 goal head-start.

Liverpool suffer a 94th minute shocker as Chelsea yet again snatch an undeserved result at Anfield this year.

Liverpool line up for today’s game

Liverpool kept their 100% record in pre-season with a 3-1 win over South China in the Barclays Asia trophy in Hong Kong earlier today.

Alex Ferguson has insisted that there is no chance he will sell Gabriel Heinze to Liverpool despite the club appearing to be the player’s preferred destination.

Andriy Voronin doesn’t appear to be sticking to the script. The free transfer showed the £26 million Torres and the watching Rafa Benitez that he has no intention of sitting on the Anfield bench.

Ryan Babel, the Ajax and Dutch 20 year old winger has today passed a Anfield medical we can confirm. The player arrived in Liverpool late last night and undertook his medical at Melwood today.

With Milan players crowing about their alleged superior technical skills, John Arne Riise has hit back insisting that the reds can both not only play the technical game, but out-smart Milan at the physical stuff too.

The arrival of the new chairmen at Anfield and their promise to fund Rafa’s transfer raids, coupled with Benitez’ constant team changes in his search for perfection, have left the Liverpool players under intense pressure to perform.

As far as transitions in power at one of the World’s biggest football clubs goes, the hand over from David Moores to George Gillett and Tom Hicks, has gone down as one of the best.

Although the media (chief culprits the increasingly clown-like Sky TV) would have you believe that Liverpool were wracked with internal problems and aiming for a 2-1 defeat at best, we actually decided it would be more fun to play Barcelona off the park and beat them.

Rafa Benitez expressed that the team was fully united as they left Liverpool bound for Barcelona today.

Lucas Neill, who a couple of months ago was proclaiming himself a ‘Liverpool fan’ appears to have decided that joining relegation-candidates West Ham United with the promise of a few extra thousand of pounds a week is a far more sensible footballing decision than joining us.

John Arne Riise is highly unlikely to figure in Liverpool’s final home game on Saturday against Manchester City.
