Kuyt And Torres Start Against Aston Villa

There’ll be no live-blogging this one I’m afraid due to another commitment but I will say that before the game kicks off (in under an hour’s time) it is great to see Torres and Kuyt starting up front, as I expected they would.

The Liverpool team against Aston Villa on the road for the first Premier League game of the 07/08 campaign looks as follows…

Pepe Reina, Alvaro Arbeloa, Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger, Steve Finnan, John Arne Riise, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Jermaine Pennant, Dirk Kuyt, Fernando Torres.

On the bench are new signing Charles Itandje, Sami Hyypia, Andriy Voronin, Ryan Babel, Momo Sissoko.

No place at all for Harry Kewell, Javier Mascherano, Yossi Benayoun but then again we do have a trip to Toulouse to cater for before opening up in Anfield against Chelsea. Here’s to a Liverpool win this evening five years since we’ve done it on the opening day!
