Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher will join Jeff Stelling and the regulars on Sky Sports News HD to give his views ahead of Sunday's Merseyside derby.

Carragher has been ruled out of the game with a shoulder injury, but will be in our studio from midday to talk about the key clash with Everton, as well as discussing the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as manager.

Carragher will also be donning a set of the famous Soccer Saturday headphones to bring you updates from one of the big Premier League games of the day, Chelsea v Blackburn.

Karim Benzema has told fellow Frenchman Gerard Houllier he is willing to join him at Aston Villa if Real Madrid get Emmanuel Adebayor

Liverpool are eyeing a Ł4million swoop for Charlie Adam after Ian Holloway dismissed a bid of Ł2m from an unnamed club. (Express)


Blackpool are keen to offer Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey a chance to resurrect his career by proposing a loan deal for the Welshman

Chelsea have bid Ł3million for Steven Pienaar and now look set to beat rivals Tottenham in the battle to sign the Everton midfielder. (Sun)
Chelsea were last night closing in on Benfica centre-half David Luiz as the first piece in their new defence. The club are prepared to add Paulo Ferreira to the mix to conclude the likely Ł21million deal. And Carlo Ancelotti is also ready to sell Ferreira’s fellow Portuguese Jose Bosingwa in the summer – with Ajax and Holland right-back Gregory van der Wiel an Ł18m target for next term

Mark Hughes today refused to deny he was trying to bring Shaun Wright-Phillips to Fulham


Liverpool are weighing up an opening bid for Ajax striker Luis Suarez. The Uruguay international, 23, is rated at an optimistic Ł28million by Ajax but they are short of funds and realistically offers around Ł15million could clinch a deal.

[Locke.]

We've had people watching Suarez for the last few months, Ajax want 18 million apparently. John Henry is in Liverpool for 10 days (from yesterday) and is meeting with Dalglish today I think, so if we are going to make any signings this month I think they'll be in the next week or so.

If we sign Suarez then it'll be the happiest I've been about a signing since Torres

Coventry 0-0 Sheff Utd.

Frustrating game. Coventry had 14 shots on target and 15 corners in the first half, it was crazy. Couldn't get the ball in the net though.



Iain hume scoring in the 90th minute cost me a bomb today. Had a Watford/Nott Forest/Leicester/Leeds Multiplier. All won but Hume scored in the 90th to clinch a draw and lose my bet. Disgusting.

[seanraff07]

My bets were crap today, just went for a few dafts ones this weekend...

Tomorrow i have Birmingham Villa draw, Everton, Newcastle, Spurs Man.U draw.

[Locke.]

Had money on a Leeds and Chelsea double.

Leeds won 4-0 and Chelsea won 2-0

Had a break from betting cos I was doing awful, but my last 2 have won (before this was Crawley to beat Derby in the FA Cup and Sergio Torres anytime scorer).

Looking on making it 3 in a row tomorrow with the Merseyside Derby

Suarez would be a very good signing for Liverpool, but they should sort out their defence first. Start by getting rid of Konchesky and Johnson.

Just to make you that little more gutted, i just watched the highlights and Leicester actually hit the bar after Hume equalised.

They need a new back four none of their current defenders are good enough to play Europa league football let alone Champions league football, Johnson should be playing for a team like Stoke and the same goes for Konchesky.. I've also seen better center backs then Skrtel and Soto in the Championship.. Sol Bamba anyone?

[Mark]

Hah, I didn't realise Leicester hit the bar after.

Speaking of bars, yesterday Coventry overtook Leeds as the team in the championship that have hit the post and bar the most number of times this season

We have a run of QPR, Birmingham, Leeds and Nottingham Forest coming up now. Can see us dropping some points here

[Locke.]

Spearing starts. The only scouser in our line up.

Get ready for a masterclass.

[Locke.]

Kelly is starting aswell actually

Wise words Novo, wise words. Spot on.

[Locke.]

Decent game, a draw was about right. We were better in the first half, they were in the second half. Skrtel is ****ing terrible and we should just terminate his contract right now.

Anyway, time to watch Utd's unbeaten record be destroyed by Gareth Bale

[alc09]

Torres' attitude has been shocking this season. Is he the most injury prone player in England? Arguably.

His international mate, David Villa, has proven himself to be the better of the two, by far. The Torres/Villa debate was once one that could be argued, as well.

[Locke.]

He was back to his old self in the first half, couldn't really get into the game in the second half though

[Novo]

Torres has became lazy now, still to good to be playing for liverpool though

[Grimnir]

I settle for 0-0 now after 10 men

got bad feelin spurs may win 1-0 in 89th minute or somethin

[Novo]

Owen needs to come on and get the winner
