Liverpool manager, Rafa Benitez has warned his players to be at their best and be wary of the threat posed by highly ambitious Manchester City when the two sides go head to head at Anfield on Saturday. The Spaniard believes that the clash could very well make or break the Merseysiders' campaign.
As Manchester City's star forward, Robinho continues to be linked with a move to Barcelona, the Brazilian sensation himself is doing little to dispel the rumours as he constantly tells his team-mates at the Eastlands club about his desire to switch to the Camp Nou.
Chelsea are weighing up a £12 million bid for Manchester City defender Micah Richards, according to a report in The People. The right-back has been reportedly unsettled at Eastlands with rumours circulating that his manager Mark Hughes was unhappy with his attitude and commitment.
Liverpool look set to be without star striker, Fernando Torres for this weekend's appetising clash with Manchester City. But there's at least some good news for manager, Rafa Benitez, who could recover Daniel Agger, Glen Johnson and captain, Steven Gerrard.
Benfica president, Luis Felipe Vieira has played down speculation that his star forward, Angel Di Maria is on his way out of Portugal in January to make a potential switch to Manchester City, who reportedly view the Argentine as the perfect replacement for Robinho.
According to a report in The Manchester Evening News, Manchester City have given up on trying to keep Robinho at the club and are already making plans for who they will sign to replace him in the January transfer window. Benfica's Angel di Maria is said to be the front runner.
According to Robinho, he is happy at Manchester City and is not planning to move to Barcelona this winter. Currently with Brazil in Doha, the forward insists that he is trying to regain his fitness and will not countenance rumours of an Eastlands departure...
