Liverpool misses Gerrard...

Liverpool will be missing out their captain Steven Gerrard as he had been injured and will not be playing the Tuesday's Premier League match at home to Arsenal. It is expected that he will be ruled out for 7-10 days with the groin problem. It would be a tough competition for Manchester United to regain the first place only if they win against Portsmouth at Old Trafford. But a draw for Liverpool at Anfield would see them go top of the table. Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor are also likely to miss the match for Arsenal due to injuries. Instead Bacary Sagna and Eduardo will occupy their place.

Benitez worried about Gerrad....

After a severe groin injury, Steven Gerrard will not be risked from the start against Blackburn. The Liverpool midfielder did not find it easy to play two games in four days with the injury. Though the injury was viewed as a minor problem at first seemed to be more serious. Manager Benitez said that he will make up his mind so that he will decide whether he will use him to play against Blackburn or Chelsea. He also added that Liverpool will be able to beat Blackburn without him. After Chelsea they got a week's rest and further if they qualify they still have two more games one in a week so they need not worry about his fitness. Liverpool will try to be at their best and wanted them to top the table after their match with Blackburn so that they can provide some pressure against Manchester United.
