LIVERPOOL AIM TO OVERCOME LILLE HAZARD

Liverpool face Lille at Anfield tomorrow night hoping to overcome a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in France.

LETS SHUT BIG SAM’S BIG MOUTH UP!

Big Sam Allardyce is at it again. The out-spoken manager of Blackburn Rovers has been at it again, saying that Liverpool have become as physical as his old Bolton side were. Absolute Rubbish.
