EPL 2011/12: Stoke City vs Liverpool, Britannia Stadium, 10th Sept 2011, 15:00 GMT
Two of the most active clubs in the transfer window come against each other as Stoke welcome the Reds on their pitch this Saturday. It is said that, combining the two teams spending on transfers totals 80 million pounds. Peter Crouch is set to play against his former club where he shone and had a promising career. Liverpool have been unsuccessful in winning any of the last 3 encounters with Stoke city, the last match resulted in a 2-0 win for Stoke as the nightmare of Roy Hodgson darkened a little more.Liverpool is unbeaten in their last 3 premier league matches so far. As Stoke have held Chelsea to goalless draw in their first premier league match. Crouch vs Carragher, the 2 former teammates will go against each other and Crouch would want to put a goal in Liverpool’s net to mark his home debut. Liverpool signing, Charlie Adam is set to return from his injury for which he has made a promising start to his Liverpool career.
"The players all seem to have fitted in to the system Kenny wants to play there and they look very dangerous going forward. But I look around our dressing room and we have some fantastic players in here as well” – Peter Crouch
"Everybody has produced a high standard so far – and it's up to us to maintain that standard. They've worked really hard in training and they've been great professionals.” – Dalglish
Liverpool, who had a promising start are set to become the front runners for the premier league title but a visit to Stoke is never a piece of cake . Suarez, who has made a huge impact to the club’s performance in the last 4-5 months, is on a high form and is the key man to watch from Liverpool’s side. The odds are always against stoke but as they’ve done in their last 3 meetings, they are expected to do the same.
