  KEANE STAYS CALM OVER FERGIE`S JIBE

  

  
  
  

  Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane found himself the centre of attention for two unexpected reasons as he prepared for Wednesday night's World Cup qualifier in Montenegro.

  The 28-year-old striker has unwittingly hit the headlines twice since his departure to join up with his international team-mates last Tuesday, and was questioned about both stories when he appeared alongside manager Giovanni Trapattoni at a press conference in Podgorica.

  He was first asked if he was aware that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had admitted his biggest surprise of the summer transfer window was Liverpool's decision to pay Tottenham £20m for their Ireland frontman.

  Keane, however, took the question in his stride, answering: "I am very surprised that John O'Shea doesn't play [for Manchester United] every week.

  "Football is about opinions. Everyone has their opinions and I respect everyone's opinion."

  Liverpool duo in race to be fit for showdown with Manchester United

   

  

  .

  .

  Rafael Benítez, the Liverpool manager, will give Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard every chance to prove their fitness before Manchester United visit Anfield in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday.

  Gerrard claimed last weekend that the United game would come “too soon” as the midfield player recovers from groin surgery and Torres, the striker, was ruled out initially for up to three weeks after suffering a hamstring tear during the goalless draw away to Aston Villa ten days ago.

  “It is difficult to say if they can play because they may have not played for ten or 15 days, but they are working hard and improving, so there's still time to decide,” Benítez said.

  Under the Spaniard, Liverpool have lost seven and drawn one of eight Premier League matches against United, scoring only one goal in the process, so the prospect of Gerrard and Torres, their principal attacking threats, missing the game would be significant.

  United are expected to hand a debut to Dimitar Berbatov, the Bulgaria striker signed from Tottenham Hotspur for £30.75million last week.

  Even without Gerrard and Torres, however, Benítez believes that Liverpool have “enough quality in the squad” to trouble United, a sentiment echoed by Álvaro Arbeloa, the defender, who expects his Spain team-mate, Albert Riera, an £8million signing from Espanyol, to make an immediate impact on his debut. “Fernando and Stevie are probably our best players, but we can beat United without them,” Arbeloa said. “We have Robbie Keane and Albert Riera.”

  Spirit of Shankly, the Liverpool Supporters' Union, is to hold a march in protest against Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the embattled owners. The march will begin at 11am on Saturday, outside the Liverpool Supporters' Club on Lower Breck Road, and finish at Anfield.

  Robbie Fowler, the former Liverpool striker, is expected to sign a three-month, pay-as-you-play deal with Blackburn Rovers next week.

  Yes, it was reported that he and Carrick will make the trip to Anfield... Actually he was said to be Ok already during Zenith match only maybe not 100%... He could have played for 45 or 60 mins but they decided not to risk him so by now he should be fit...

  Looks like United are getting back a few more players from this week onwards...

  Hargreaves, Carrick, Nani... Even Park  and Ronaldo are said to be coming back very soon... Ronaldo may even play on Wed's CL against Villarreal...
