English Talk

Talk Is the English Game.

Sunday is the day when Liverpool and Chelsea will meet for the first time this season. Both teams have not been wasting many points and lie in the top two positions in the English Premier League.

Chelsea News

Chelsea's news is not exactly a melody to Luiz Felipe Scolari's ears as his finest striker, Didier Drogba is still out injured.

Drogba will not be lonely as Michael Ballack may join him to watch the match and eat popcorn at home.

They will be joined by Michael Essien who still has a couple of months of sitting home (aka popcorn fun) and Branislav Ivanovic who has been eating popcorn ever since his move to Stamford Bridge.

Scolari is still waiting to hear whether the Coles, Ashley and Joe, will be fit to face The Reds.  

Possible Starting Line-Up: Cech, Bosingwa, Bridge, Carvalho, Terry, Mikel, Lampard, Deco, Malouda, Kalou, Anelka

Liverpool News

Rafa Benitez has been lucky, winning many games in the last couple of minutes. But he's definitely not feeling lucky with Fernando Torres ruled out of Sunday's big match.

In midweek Champions League action, Robbie Keane, Xabi Alonso, and Steven Gerrard were substituted after being injured; however, their injuries are not serious and they will probably feature in Sunday's clash.

Possible Starting Line-Up: Reina, Arbeloa, Dossena, Carragher, Agger, Xabi Alonso, Gerrard, Mascherano, Benayoun, Riera, Keane
