01 :00 . Liverpool can probably count
themselves lucky not to be behind after
that first - half. They 've been on the back
foot for much of it . Rickie Lambert should
have opened the scoring with a close-
range header, but his effort was tame.
After that , City have created a raft of
chances for themselves, but have yet to
really trouble Brad Jones. They ' ve been
very impressive with their build-up play,
and a goal can' t be too far away. The Reds
certainly looking sharper than in their
previous four pre-season games , if that 's
any consolation. Coates has also been
solid , to the Uruguayan 's credit .
HT : Liverpool 0- 0 Manchester City .
45 ' And that's that for the first -half .
44 ' Gerrard 's last-ditch interception cuts
out a clever cross from Navas at the near
post . City really looking full of zeal.
43 ' Coutinho darts about in the final
third, trying to find Sturridge but Boyata
cuts it out. The Brazilian certainly looked
lively with the ball at his feet there
though .

43 ' Coutinho darts about in the final
third, trying to find Sturridge but Boyata
cuts it out. The Brazilian certainly looked
lively with the ball at his feet there
though .
41 ' Another troubling City corner. Navas
with the ball-in , but Coates heads clear.
The Reds try a counter -attack but
Sturridge 's switch pass is underhit and the
break ends .
40 ' Good period of passing play from
Liverpool, until Gerrard is dispossessed
well by Kolarov . Wonderful sliding tackle
from the Serbian, who then rushes back
to intercept Allen's loose pass .
38 ' City's cross, delivered by Navas, is
whipped into the six -yard box but is just
about too high for a blue shirt to get on
the end of it . The Premier League
champions are looking dangerous from
set - pieces.
37 ' Lambert finds space by the byline and
fizzes a teasing cross into the box, but
Caballero dives down to it before Allen
can connect .
35 ' Enrique perhaps the most involved
attacking player down the left flank , but
the Reds are certainly lacking what City
are showing here. Missing quality in the
final third. Perhaps a change of formation
is in order .
34 ' Again, Sturridge is denied as Kolarov
and a number of blue shirts restrict him
to trying to do it all on his own, but the
left- back wins possession.
33 ' Liverpool really lacking going
forward so far . Very little in the way of
link -up between Lambert and Sturridge .
Up the other end, Navas ' delightful cross
after breaking with pace allows Džeko to
get in front of Touré but his connection is
poor . Frighteningly fast counter- attack
there .
32 ' Sturridge twists into a shooting
position inside the box, but it is blocked
after Coutinho picked him out. Seconds
later , Gerrard has a shot on goal but
Caballero gathers.
31 ' That man again, the 6 ft 3 " frontman
goes for goal outside the box and his shot
is deflected, but Jones manages to catch it
after almost fumbling possession .
30 ' City certainly looking the more likely
to open the scoring here . Very strong
squad out here from Pellegrini , and it
shows . The Sky Blues are dominating
chances , having already tried eight shots
on goal in comparison to the Reds ' two.
Džeko with the latest , but his effort inside
the area is blocked .
28 ' The Bosnian striker tries another
effort , this time from 30 -yards , but the
shot flies well wide of Jones ' goal .
26 ' Džeko runs at the Liverpool defence,
before falling to his feet rather easily
when Coates seemed to make almost no
contact with him. He stays on the ground
for a minute or two, before rising to his
feet and picking up a through ball and
firing past Jones , but he was in an offside
position . No goal .
24 ' Navas wonderfully spins away from
Coutinho near the centre - circle. Moments
later , the City side are appealing for a
free -kick outside the area after Enrique 's
slip but the referee waves it away.
23 ' Liverpool's front- line struggling to
maintain possession, whilst Navas and
Jovetić are looking dangerous in City 's
final third. Exciting affair so far .
22 ' Zuculini tries an ambitious chip from
outside the area , but Jones catches easy.
City with all the chances so far , but the
Reds ' back -line , Coates in particular , has
been dealing it with it well so far .
21 ' Milner almost scores , had it not been
for a deflection. Navas does well to see
the Englishman 's run from deep and
Džeko dummies the ball, allowing it to
run straight into his path and the ball
trickles to Milner whose effort is deflected
wide by Kelly, but nothing is given.
20 ' City come close, as Milner 's long ball
finds Navas in space . From the left- hand
corner of the box, he tries to drive one
past Jones and inside the far post but the
Aussie stopper gets down to it .
19 ' Great individual work from Sturridge,
as he wins a throw -in from Nastasić deep
into City's half , but the Reds have to
retreat back to defence with no way
through a sea of blue shirts .
18 ' Kolarov feeds Jovetić down the left.
The forward has been central to
everything and tempts his teammates with
a low cross across the six- yard box which
Coates slides in to clear.
16 ' Great link -up play from City , as
Fernando plays a neat one-two with
Džeko before trying to weave his way into
the area but Enrique clears.
15 ' Henderson makes a smart run down
the right, before firing a chipped cross
into Lambert in the centre who runs
away from Clichy . The 32 -year - old heads
the cross towards goal, but it is straight at
Caballero . He should have done better
there .
14 ' Navas drives at Enrique but slips
when he tries to cross into the six- yard
box , and Coates clears . City yet to cause
Jones any real trouble between the sticks .
12 ' Manchester City free -kick from the
right is sent deep , and Boyata connects,
plays it back to Fernando who tries a
searching pass to Jovetić in the area but
they can only win a corner, which Joe
Allen clears from.
11 ' Gerrard ' s long ball finds Enrique
down the left, he drives forward before
cutting inside and trying to find Sturridge
but the pass is behind him . Coutinho runs
in to recover possession and tries a shot
on goal, but it flies past the post . He 's
looked very bright so far , nevertheless.
10 ' The tempo has slowed down now as
both sides try to take a firm grip of the
game .
9 ' Henderson 's cute chipped ball falls to
Enrique on the left flank, but his cross is
blocked by Boyata. He wins a throw -in,
but it is wasted.
8 ' Milner wins a corner after Kelly blocks
a cross, but Jovetić's free header flies well
wide after Navas' wonderful delivery.
Poor marking from the Reds defence .
7 ' City looking slightly dominant so far .
Enjoying much more possession and
looking full of intent going forward.
6 ' Great chance for City, as Jovetić finds
himself with space in the box but Toure
blocks him well . Fantastic link -up with
his forward partner . He fluffs the chance
before trying to buy a penalty, which is
waved away. Džeko tries an effort
moments later , but it 's easily gathered by
Jones .
5 ' Fast- paced tempo here so far , Jovetić
tries to find Džeko on the edge of the
area , but the ball bobbles up and away
from the Bosnian . The pitch is in
particularly poor condition over the right
side .
4 ' Clichy tries an effort from range from
30 -yards , but his shot from a central area
drifts wide of Jones' right post .
3 ' Poor pass from Allen means Enrique
miscontrols the ball and it goes out for a
throw , but City yet to push into the
Liverpool half . The Reds pressing very
high and restricting them from having
comfort on the ball.
2 ' Strong start from Rodgers' side , who
immediately look to burst into the
Citizens ' box . Unfortunately , Rickie
Lambert 's attempted cross is blocked .
2 ' The Yankee Stadium is fairly full now.
A good attendance for a pre- season
friendly . Confirmation that Liverpool's
starting set -up is a diamond formation,
the same one that saw the Reds beat City
3 - 2 last time the two teams met.
1 ' We 're underway in New York . Will the
' City That Never Sleeps ' witness anything
worth staying up for tonight?
00 :08 . The players are out onto the pitch.
The referee is only moments away from
blowing his whistle now .

Go red and take revenge of the epl title that the citizens snatch away from you.

Martin Skrtel and Lazar Marković
the surprising omissions from the Reds'
squad tonight. Pepe Reina also missing.
An interesting front line , however. Looks
like a 4 - 1- 2 -1 -2 diamond formation .


Liverpool Bench : Mignolet , Ward,
Johnson , Sakho , Robinson , Lucas , Can,

Liverpool vs. Manchester City:
Predicting City's International
Champions Cup XI
By Phil Keidel on July 29, 2014
Manchester City and Liverpool famously
finished first and second in last season's
Premier League table. Famously, because the
title was quite literally Liverpool's to lose
with a few matches left to play.
That Liverpool contrived to lose it must still
send shudders down the spines of the Pool
faithful.
A quick peek at the 2014-15 Premier League
schedule reveals that City will host Liverpool
at the Etihad on Aug. 25, or less than a
month after the sides' coming Guinness
International Champions Cup friendly at
Yankee Stadium.
So if you were Manchester City boss Manuel
Pellegrini or Liverpool manager Brendan
Rodgers, how much of what you may be
planning for that August encounter will you
be showing in an exhibition?
Precisely.
Neither of these clubs much wants to lose to
the other, even in a friendly. But aside from
the normal "keep them healthy" concerns that
managers always have in these situations,
Pellegrini and Rodgers have strategic issues
to consider here.
As a result, you can reasonably expect
Pellegrini's XI for this Liverpool match on
Wednesday to be consistent with the
selections he has made for City's past two
American friendlies. And you can surely
expect that City will employ a predictable
formation and vanilla tactics.
Besides, everything Pellegrini and his charges
are doing as of late is working just fine.
City ran Sporting Kansas City off their home
pitch on July 23, then hung four goals on AC
Milan in less than half an hour in City's
recent Guinness International Champions Cup
opener. You know what they say about what
to do if it ain't broke.
"I think it was a very good game for our
team," Pellegrini said after the AC Milan
match, according to Sam Werner of the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette . "It's important to
win and also important to score five goals.
Not only that, I feel like we played with a
good pace and that for me is important."
The only wild card to this analysis is the
location of this match against the locations
of the last two.
Kansas City is a passionate enough Major
League Soccer town, but Pittsburgh is not as
was evidenced by the rows and rows of empty
seats at Heinz Field for City's woodshedding
of AC Milan.
Regardless, neither Kansas City nor
Pittsburgh is New York.
Couple New York's status as an American
city with a significant international
population with Manchester City's imminent
debut of New York City FC , and you have to
think that Manchester City's power center
may decide to have Pellegrini dress and
perhaps even play some of the club's biggest
stars.
It is one thing to have Jesus Navas and Gael
Clichy be the biggest names in the City XI in
the American Midwest and Rust Belt. It is
quite another to deprive a major market like
New York of City's stars when City are hoping
to cultivate that market in MLS in the very
near future.
Pellegrini must be looking forward to the
beginning of the 2014-15 Premier League
season. All he really needs to think about
then is putting the best available XI on the
pitch.
For now, though, Pellegrini has to manage
the next match on the calendar with an eye
toward another match a month from now and
the creation of a team in another league
thereafter.
Manchester City's predicted XI against
Liverpool: Joe Hart; Micah
Richards, Dedryck Boyata, Matija Nastasic,
Gael Clichy;
Fernando, Javi Garcia, Yaya Toure,
Jesus Navas; Stevan Jovetic, Kelechi
Iheanacho.

Can I still apply to this job vacancy ?

Please who knows the age requirements of this job opening ?

For the first time ,Liverpool used its first eleven player. kudos to him..

The England international produced a neat
finish just five minutes in after pouncing on a
deflected effort from Daniel Sturridge
Raheem Sterling scored the only goal of the
game as Liverpool defeated Olympiakos 1-0 in
the International Champions Cup.
The winger struck after just five minutes of
play at Soldier Field in Chicago, finishing
coolly after latching onto a deflected strike
from Daniel Sturridge.
The Reds were good value for their win,
although Olympiakos were inches away from
earning a point, with Gevorg Ghazaryan denied
by the crossbar early in the second half with
Brad Jones beaten.
Liverpool's first match of the pre-season
tournament in the US saw them start well,
with a free kick in the fourth minute in a
dangerous area, before they took the lead a
minute later.
Sturridge's attempt from distance deflected off
an Olympiakos defender, and fell fortunately to
Sterling, who tucked away past a helpless
Balazs Megyeri.
The game began to open up later in the half,
with Liverpool producing several fast
counterattacks, with new signing Lukas
Markovic involved.
Olympiakos had appeals for a penalty waved
away in the 35th minute, as Javier Saviola
earned a yellow card for simulation inside the
area.
Moments later, Markovic showed elements of
his class as he danced into the Olympiakos
area, only to guide his curling right-footed
shot too high for the top-right corner target.
Rodgers swung the changes at half-time,
taking out Markovic, fellow signing Emre Can
and Jose Enrique, and bringing in Joe Allen,
Jack Robinson and Coutinho.
However, it was Olympiakos who should have
struck first on return to the Soldier Field
playing arena, as Ghazaryan's shot was
agonisingly denied by the woodwork.
Andreas Bouchalakis then had a gilt-edged
chance to equalise, forcing a turnover deep in
Liverpool's defensive third, however he could
not control his final touch around goalkeeper
Jones as the chance dissipated.
