Fernando
Torres is enemy number one for the Kop after his £50 million move to
Chelsea but Luis Suarez is the saviour of Anfield after he scored on
his debut against Stoke City on Wednesday. These are the contrasting
tales from the camps of the Blues and the Reds as today’s clash comes
unto the horizon. What poetic justice that Torres will have to make his
debut against a team he left on Monday – it can be assumed given that
all the defenders in the Liverpool line-up will be up for this game.
You can almost see Jaime Carragher playing centre half for Liverpool
today.

Liverpool’s
caretaker manager, Kenny Dalglish said no player can be bigger than the
club and he may be right to an extent but some players make a club tick
more than others and that is why the transfer of Torres will either
make or mar Liverpool’s season. Even though the buying of Suarez and
Andy Carroll has mitigated the Spaniard striker’s loss, it will be a
gigantic job for any of the new players to fill the boots of the
departed European and World Cup champion.

The statistics show
that Torres scored in almost every other game and Suarez showed with
his goal against Stoke and his scoring statistics for Ajax that he is a
quality marksman.

Today’s tie is
between Chelsea – on a three match winning run, same as their
opponents, Liverpool. Against Sunderland, Chelsea showed that they are
almost back to the form which saw them scoring goals for fun towards
the end of last season and the beginning of this current one. But this
match could turn out to be a contest between a Spaniard and a Uruguayan
on English soil. Whoever wins will become an instant hero but the
result is too close to call.
