Christian benteke is in form as he single handedly scored 8 goals in 6 matches so we should be wary of him.... Mod this is a Wembley match so should make front page... |
Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has said it is "touch and go" whether Gabriel Agbonlahor will overcome a hamstring strain in time to face Liverpool. Ciaran Clark and the suspended Carlos Sanchez are definitely out but Scott Sinclair and Ashley Westwood are fit. Liverpool's Jordon Ibe is cup-tied, while Daniel Sturridge is a major doubt with a hip problem. Mamadou Sakho is out with a hamstring injury but Martin Skrtel and Steve Gerrard are available after suspension. "He always produces big goals and big moments. He knows Wembley very well. He's got special quality". Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has set the stage for Steven Gerrard to play a limelight role in what could be a fascinating FA Cup semi-final. Back from his three-match ban, the Reds' captain will have his heart set on winning a third FA Cup in his final game for the club on his 35th birthday next month. It would be the last chapter of his epic FA Cup history. He became a Liverpool legend with his performance against Patrick Vieira in the 2001 cup final against Arsenal, and his stoppage time rasper in 2006 saved them against West Ham. The script seems to have already been written. But there's a major problem in the assumption that Liverpool will win this as easily as some bookies suggest with odds of 8/13 and Villa 5/1 outsiders. Can the Red's defence hold Christian Benteke in his current form. He's scored eight goals in his last six games on his personal quest to make up for lost time after injury wrecked last summer's World Cup dream and shabby form ruined the early part of his comeback. Tim Sherwood, a beaten semi finalist twice in his playing days at Tottenham, has his Villa side now perfectly set up to play to Benteke's strengths. They are getting the ball up to him early and they're creating far more chances from a more direct style. The real pressure is on Liverpool in this one. No Liverpool manager has failed to lift silverware in his first three years in charge since Phil Taylor in the 1950's. Rodgers knows the significance this competition could have on his career. Jurgen Klopp's sudden availability will cast a shadow over a few current managers. The head says Liverpool. The heart, ruled by the Gerrard story, says Liverpool. But somewhere deep deep down in my gut (and that's not a pleasant thought!) I have a feeling Benteke will win it. Head-to-head Liverpool and Villa have met in a FA Cup semi-final on three previous occasions, with the Villans winning in 1897 and Liverpool progressing in 1914 and 1996. Villa went on to win the trophy, while Liverpool were beaten in the final on both occasions. They have met seven times in total in the FA Cup. Villa won that first meeting in 1897, but have lost the subsequent six matches. In their last meeting in 1996, Liverpool won the semi-final 3-0 at Old Trafford thanks to a brace from Robbie Fowler and a Jason McAteer goal. Aston Villa Villa's most recent FA Cup triumph back in 1957 was then a competition- record seventh victory. Their only appearance in an FA Cup final since 1957 was in 2000 when they lost 1-0 to Chelsea. The Villans have made the FA Cup semi-final on 20 previous occasions, winning 10 and losing 10. However, they have lost seven of the last nine times they have reached this stage. The clean sheet they kept in the last round against West Brom was only their second in their last 20 FA Cup matches. Villa's previous four FA Cup ties this season have been at home. Five of the nine goals in their three FA Cup ties this year have been netted in the 85th minute or later. Since Tim Sherwood took over, Christian Benteke is the top scorer in the Premier League with eight goals. Liverpool This is Liverpool's 24th appearance in an FA Cup semi-final - only Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton have played in more. They have lost just one of their last nine semi-finals. The seven-time winners' last appearance in an FA Cup final was in 2012 when they lost to Chelsea 2-1, and they last won it in 2006. Jordan Henderson and Simon Mignolet have played 47 games in all competitions this season, which is the joint most across Europe's top five leagues with Jose Callejon of Napoli, Mikel Rico of Athletic Bilbao and Stephane Ruffier of Saint-Etienne. Liverpool have five players in their squad to have won the FA Cup before: Glen Johnson (Portsmouth 2008), Mario Balotelli (Manchester City 2011), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool 2001 & 2006), Daniel Sturridge (2010 & 2012), and Kolo Toure (Arsenal 2003 & 2005; Manchester City 2011). Steven Gerrard has scored more league goals (12) against Aston Villa than any other side in his career. http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/32273487 |

Go Liverpool and sink this Swansea |
Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis has been cleared to play by specialists following his collapse at Tottenham in his side's last league game. Kyle Bartley has a knee injury and is the only confirmed absentee. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is fit after seven games out with a hamstring injury, while Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho are also available. Joe Allen is a doubt against his former club because of a hip injury. Luis Enrique and Lucas are both still out. When Liverpool lost 3-0 to Manchester United in mid-December, only the most optimistic of the Anfield faithful would have predicted that they would be challenging United for a Champions League spot with 10 games of the season still to play. Since that defeat at Old Trafford, Brendan Rodgers' side have won nine and drawn three of their Premier League matches to give them a chance of rubbing shoulders with Europe's elite again, where they will attempt to make amends for their poor showing in this season's competition. Rodgers has said he's "powerless" to help keep Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson at the club, as they negotiate new contracts. He'll be keen to have them signed up for the long term as quickly as possible, but also to remove any distractions from what are an important two months ahead. In fact, the next two weeks are likely to be pivotal to their season. After this fixture they host Manchester United and then travel to Arsenal in the Premier League, before meeting Blackburn in their FA Cup quarter-final replay at Ewood Park. Liverpool haven't lost a league game to Swansea since Brendan Rodgers was in the opposition dug-out back in 2012. Victory for the Swans this time around could see Garry Monk's impressive side move above Stoke and up to eighth. His biggest concern this week has been the fitness of Bafetimbi Gomis after the striker lost consciousness during the first half of their 3-2 defeat at Tottenham. The 29-year-old Frenchman has had big boots to fill since the departure of Wilfried Bony to Manchester City. Monk says he will be fit to start. The Swans have scored in all but two of their last 20 matches, although Liverpool haven't conceded an away goal in the league since that defeat to United back in December - which proved to be such an unlikely turning point in their season. Head-to-head Swansea have beaten Liverpool only once in seven matches (D3, L3) since winning promotion to the Premier League in 2011. Brendan Rodgers was the Swansea manager for that sole Premier League win, a 1-0 triumph at the Liberty Stadium in May 2012. Liverpool have won just two of 13 league matches away to Swansea (D4, L7). The last four Premier League fixtures between the sides have produced 21 goals. Swansea They have only lost three home matches this season, and 25 of their 40 points have come at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea have claimed only 13 of their 40 points against sides in the top half of the table (W4, D1). The Swans have conceded five second- half goals at the Liberty Stadium; only Chelsea have let in fewer at home only with three. Eight of their 11 Premier League wins have been by the odd goal. Jonjo Shelvey has scored in the last three league matches between the clubs as a Swansea player, albeit the last of which was an own goal. Liverpool Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 12 league games (W9, D3). They are the only unbeaten team left in the Premier League in 2015. They have earned 31 points from their last 14 matches, having only managed 20 points in their opening 14 league games. The Reds have not conceded an away goal in their last five league fixtures. They have only twice gone six top-flight away games without conceding: January-April 1972 and November 1965-January 1966. The last away goal they let in was Robin van Persie's 71st-minute strike in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester United in mid- December - 469 league minutes ago. Daniel Sturridge has scored four goals in three Premier League appearances for Liverpool against Swansea, whilst Adam Lallana has three goals in three league games against them. Brendan Rodgers won 36 of his 84 league matches as manager of Swansea, guiding them to promotion to the Premier League in 2010-11. http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/31792005 Mod do the needful and push this to front page. |
