Live: Liverpool Team Vs Sheffield United

The starting lineup and bench have been announced and it looks as follows:

Pepe Reina, Jan Kromkamp, John Arne Riise, Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Fabio Aurelia, Momo Sissoko, Bolo Zenden, Craig Bellamy, Robbie Fowler. Subs: Jerzy Dudek, Danny Agger, Mark Gonzalez, Peter Crouch, Jermaine Pennant.

With Steve Finnan out of action following Ireland’s loss against the dutch, Jan Kromkamp fills in at right back while Xabi Alonso also misses out. Fans will have to wait to see Dirk Kuyt in action another while yet, the player only completing his transfer yesterday and cannot play against Maccabi Haifa during the week.

Liverpool haven’t yet won an opening day fixture under Rafa Benitez but have lost only three of their last thirty in the league and will be hoping to turn that stat around in a half hours time.
