31 ' Manquillo is another who has
impressed. He 's slotted seamlessly into
that right-back slot and marauded back
and forth down that flank. Promising stuff
from the Spaniard .
30 ' More vivid attacking. Sturridge tries
to set up one of Coutinho or Sterling in
the box , but his cross is overhit and
neither can get to it .
30 ' Good play from the visitors.
Aubameyang finsd Mkhitaryan from the
by -line , but the Armenian' s volley is
blocked and rebounds back off him for a
goal -kick .
29 ' Good ball from Kirch through to
Aubameyang , but Skrtel covers and
stretches well to put it out. Sterling then
does well to shrug Piszczek off the ball
and win a throw . Very strong for a
diminutive winger.
28 ' Sturridge too , now . He tries a clever
flick with the back of his heel to get past
Piszczek, but it deflects off the defender
and out for a throw .
27 ' Jojic tries an effort outside of the box,
but Skrtel blocks it . The midfielder
delivers in the subsequent corner but it is
headed away from danger.
26 ' Dortmund not exactly full strength but
the Reds have been excellent

23 ' This really is impressive from front to
back . Lovren 's well -timed tackle earns a
rousing applause from the Anfield
faithful .
22 ' Absolutely sensational play from
Coutinho again. He weaves through a
number of yellow shirts with superb skill
before curling a wonderful through ball
for Sterling , but his effort is blocked by
Piszczek and nothing comes of the corner.
Tremendous footwork from the Brazilian
playmaker .
21 ' Liverpool attacking with real verve,
Manquillo manages a cross to Sterling at
the back post . He retrieves the ball after a
defensive header and dinks it back to the
incoming Coutinho on the edge of the
area , but his connection is poor and the
shot bends wide of the right post .

20 ' And Lovren 's header for the
second:
20 ' Here is Sturridge 's opening
goal :
19 ' There were shouts for handball there,
but they were rightly waved away. From
a throw -in , Kirch tries an effort from
distance but it flies over Mignolet 's
crossbar .
18 ' Great defending by the skipper.
Mkhitaryan finds the ball just outside the
box , but the 33 -year - old slides in to
dispossess him.
17 ' Dangerous attack from the visitors,
but the Reds counter and Gerrard
connects to a Sterling pass before trying
to feed Sturridge on the last shoulder but
the forward is offside

Loveren made his debut marshalling Liverpool's defense and scoring now. Lambert who is a striker hasn't score. This is a big test for liverpool in Europe.

13 ' Magnificent. Langerak comes out but
is left stranded and Gerrard 's delivery
falls to the unmarked Lovren who powers
a header home . The same end in which he
scored for Southampton last season. What
a start for Rodgers ' Reds.
12 ' GOAL! Liverpool 2 -0 .
12 ' Sterling pushes into the box and wins
a corner. Gerrard walks over to take it .
11 ' Liverpool are good value for their
early lead . They 've been the better team
so far , and that goals shows it . The
visitors posing problems though, as
Piszczek nearly gets onto a long ball .
10 ' That is an absolutely superb goal . A
long ball from Lovren into the centre of
the park is flicked on by Coutinho 's
outside of the foot and Sturridge runs
onto it before finishing neatly past
Langerak with an outside of the foot left
shot . Simply sublime .
9 ' GOAL ! 1- 0 Liverpool. That 's wonderful
stuff .

9 ' GOAL ! 1- 0 Liverpool. That 's wonderful
stuff .
9 ' Both teams playing the ball about
nicely . Lovren has looked commanding in
his opening few minutes , playing the ball
about with confidence and marshalling
the back -line .
7 ' Gerrard 's poor tackle gives away a
free -kick near the half- way line, but a sea
of red bodies immediately press the
Dortmund defence and Coutinho forces
Sokratis into putting it out for a throw -
in .
6 ' Liverpool have been very impressive in
this starting few minutes . Zipping the ball
about across the pitch, whilst Sterling and
Coutinho look very lively . Manquillo and
Johnson both pushing high up the pitch.
Positive signs.
5 ' Wonderful through ball from Coutinho
after a magnificent turn. He finds Sterling
in the box who shoots first - time, but
Langerak saves with ease. Few seconds
after , Henderson tries an ambitious chip

11 :50 . Liverpool's tactics today. A
standard 4 - 3- 3 , with Gerrard sitting deep
and Can and Henderson roam about in
front of him . Sturridge is the lone
forward, with Sterling and Coutinho
either side , likely to drop deep and create
for the English striker.

Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool play the final
game of their pre-season preparations
when they host a talented Borussia
Dortmund side on Sunday (12.15pm kick
off).
Liverpool make a long awaited return to
Anfield for the first time since May 11th,
where they’ll face one more dress rehearsal
fixture before the real thing kicks off seven
days later against Southampton. The Reds
enjoyed an entertaining and relatively
successful pre-season schedule that
certainly provided the squad with what
they needed heading into the new
campaign.
Sunday’s game against Dortmund will
provide a stern test for Rodgers’ men, who
will be looking to use the fixture to blow
out any remaining cobwebs before the
season commences.
The match could also see Rodgers pick what
he hopes to be his starting team on the
opening day of the season, as Liverpool look
to step up their intensity with just days left
to prepare for the most demanding
campaign the club has faced in five seasons.
It will be the first time the two clubs have
met for any type of fixture since October
2001, where Liverpool, under the guidance
of Gerard Houllier recorded a comfortable
2-0 win in the group stage of the
Champions League at Anfield. A goal in
each half from Vladimir Smicer and
Stephen Wright that day was enough to
hand Liverpool a comfortable win in Group
B.

training and is reported as being fit for
Sunday’s showcase game and the prolific

Dejan Lovren is set to receive the first
minutes of his Liverpool career in the

After a period of turmoil, Dortmun –
transformed by the charismatic Jurgen
Klopp – have enjoyed success in recent
seasons, claiming a historic double win in
2011-12 and winning the DFL Supercup in
2013 – but BVB just missed out on
Champions League glory in the same season
after slipping to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of
rivals Bayern Munich at Wembley.
Like Liverpool, Dortmund will be looking to
improve on last season’s 2nd placed
finished and pre-season preparations that
are well underway have gone swimmingly
to date with six wins and a draw from
seven friendly matches – including a 10-0
win over Swiss side Rapperswill.

Liverpool match: “I want to
play there, it’s tradition and
everyone is looking forward to
it.” #BVB #LFC

Similarly, Sunday’s game represents their
last friendly fixture before Klopp’s men
take on Bayern Munich in the German
Supercup, which will be played 10 days
before their opening fixture of the league
season when they’ll face Bayer Levekusen.
Dortmund’s squad continues to boast talent
everywhere you look, from commanding
and stylish defender Mats Hummels in the
back four to much coveted forward player
Marco Reus in attack.
Dortmund have sold over 1000
tickets for their end, and ours
are sold out. Should be good.

Mkhitaryan along with exciting new

Italian Serie A, could both feature in the
game.
The two clubs carry a number of well-

undoubtedly be welcomed at Anfield on

TEAM NEWS

Burnley summer signing Lukas Jutkiewicz could partner Danny Ings up front after impressing in pre-season.

Goalkeeper Tom Heaton is fit after missing several warm-up games with a calf injury.

Chelsea could hand debuts to new trio Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa and Filipe Luis - and keeper Thibaut Courtois.

The Blues will assess Didier Drogba's knee injury, while several players involved in the latter stages of the World Cup may lack match fitness.
MATCH PREVIEW

This will be a special game but nothing will replicate a memorable, balmy August evening in 2009 that was barmy!

Who will ever forget Robbie Blake's stunning volley versus champions Manchester United that literally shook the stands at Turf Moor to ensure a famous win.

Burnley's ground was a difficult patch on which to gain a result that season - they followed up that win with a victory over Everton and also held Arsenal in December.

However, after losing just once in their opening nine games at Turf Moor they then found the going tough, and won only two more home matches after Christmas.

Sean Dyche has been busy bolstering his squad but his investment is only a small fraction of the spending of Jose Mourinho, who has been quick to address the weakness from last season - a lack of goals.

In recent years, the Blues have been so dominant in this fixture that City fans reared on trips to York away will probably be assuming that a right old thrashing from the Geordies is on the cards. But this is the new City; English Champions for the second time in three seasons, League Cup holders and undeniably, as the terrace chant goes, the best team in the land and all the world. With the need to get off to a good start even more intense, following last weekend's disappointing performance against Arsenal in the Community Shield, City manager Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping to pick a much stronger starting XI than the one which failed so abjectly at Wembley on Sunday.

Both sides have strengthened well over the summer, though City are unlikely to field many of their new signings, and indeed perhaps even many of their more established superstars given the struggle for match-fitness in this year's incredibly short pre-season (it seems to churlish to complain too much about the World Cup though). The most likely new signing to start for the Blues is probably defensive midfielder Fernando, who may well take the place of his compatriot Fernandinho; whether Pellegrini starts with Joe Hart or new goalie Willy Cabellero will also be telling, given the Chilean has stated that he views Cabellero as serious competition for England's No 1.

The off-season has been a good one for the Geordies this time, as new blood has finally worked its way to St. James' Park. After the often farcical nature of last year (think Joe Kinnear and Alan Pardew giving Hull's David Meyler a Glasgow Kiss, for starters), the loss of Yohan Cabaye to PSG in January may have put £19m in the club coffers but deprived Newcastle of their talisman. However, Cabaye Mark II may well have wended his way to The Toon this July, in the form of ex-Montpellier man, Rémy Cabella. Together with the acquisitions of ex-Mackem Colback, Monaco's Emmanuel Rivière and strikers Facundo Ferrerya Ayoze Perez, Newcastle would appear to have more options, firepower and steel than last season.

Likely to keep with his preferred 4-4-2, Pellegrini will want his team to start the season as they mean to go on, continuing the outstanding attacking flair and prowess that they showed in their record goal-scoring season last year. Sadly for the Blues, if any World Cup players are saved, it is likely to be one of more of their Argentine trio of World Cup Finalists, Zabaleta, Demichelis and Agüero, plus Brazilian semi-finalist Fernandinho. New signing Eliaquim Mangala has already ruled himself out of contention; although part of the French squad, the 23 year-old defender didn't play a minute in Brazil, and has stated his need to return to full fitness.

Newcastle fans will be eager to see their new heroes take to the field, and exactly what formation Pardew comes up with to stifle City's attack will be intriguing. The first home game of the season demands a good performance, whatever the result, and although Newcastle won't be expected to beat the Champions, they may just have a chance to spring a surprise, particularly if City are somewhat depleted.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted he did not see Tony Pulis' departure from Crystal Palace coming.

Palace's plans for the new Barclays Premier League season, which starts at Arsenal in Saturday's late kick-off, have been thrown into disarray after Pulis left the Selhurst Park club late on Thursday.

Pulis was named manager of the season for 2013/2014, having guided the Eagles to safety following his appointment last November at a time when the south London club were rock bottom, but went on to finish comfortably in mid-table.

Former Stoke boss Pulis had reportedly been left frustrated by the club failing to push through deals for various players he targeted to strengthen the Palace squad.

Palace issued a brief statement on Friday morning, which indicated Pulis had left by "mutal consent", with several candidates such as Malky Mackay, Neil Lennon and Tim Sherwood likely to be interested in the vacancy.

Wenger revealed there had been no indications of any issues when he caught up with Pulis at a pre-season Premier League managers' meeting at the start of the week.

"It was a complete surprise to me and what kind of consequence that will have on Crystal Palace, I don't know," said Wenger, who is the longest serving manager in the top flight.

"The only thing I can say is that he's done a remarkable job last season and he made a miracle. I don't really know why he left, but it took me by surprise.

"I have (never) seen that (manager leave so close to start of season) before, so you can always be surprised.

"I was at a managers' meeting on Monday with Tony Pulis and nothing indicated that he would not be here (on Saturday) afternoon."

Wenger added: "Maybe Tony Pulis was the manager of the season last year because he took the maximum out of his team during the period he was there - that is the real job of the manager."

Arsenal hope to have defender Laurent Koscielny fit following a minor Achilles problem.

Keith Millen will be in caretaker charge of Palace again.

He said: "We are all shocked from the players to the staff.

"We knew the frustrations of the club that we hadn't brought in as many players as we wanted but as far as training is concerned we had no inkling this might happen.

"The players are asking why. This has happened now three times what with Dougie (Freedman) leaving and then Ian (Holloway) and now Tony.

"So they're asking why. It's important to reassure them they've done nothing wrong.

"Tony loved working with the group and they are a great group to work with.

"Now all of a sudden they're wondering who is going to come in and what direction we're going."

Martin Kelly, Fraizer Campbell and Brede Hangeland could be handed debuts for the Eagles.
