The Reds come in to the game having won their last five games. Jose

game.

last three games. They haven't won away from home in the last eight
league games.

suspension. Momo Sissoko walks a disciplinary tight rope in this
one. Any booking and he will serve a ban. If he avoids it though he
is then safe for the remainder of the season.

Warnock, Luis Garcia, Kewell, Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, Hamann,
Morientes, Cisse, Fowler, Crouch, Dudek.

Gardner, Giannakopoulos, Faye, Okocha, Speed, Nolan, Davies, Vaz Te,
Diouf, Pedersen, Walker, Nakata, Borgetti, Campo, Jansen.

Team Stats : The Reds are yet to lose a home premiership game
against Bolton Wanderers. In the previous six games the Reds have
won 5 and drawn one.

In all the Reds have won 64% of the points on offer in Premiership
games against Bolton.

In all league games against Bolton the Reds have won 26 of the 52
games at Anfield. Should the Reds strike five times in this match it
will take them to 100 against Bolton in the league at Anfield.

In those 52 games the Reds have kept 19 clean sheets and only failed
to score on eleven occassions.

Bolton last won a league game at Anfield in 1953-54 season when the
Reds ended up being relegated. That day the Reds went down to a 2-1
defeat.

Player Stats : John Arne Riise is set to make his 250th appearance
for the Reds if he takes any part in this match.

Djibril Cisse has come off the bench nineteen times so far in league
games for the Reds.

Peter Crouch has walked in the opposite direction on nineteen
occassions.

A Robbie Fowler would take him to joint 6th in the all time league
goals scoring charts. That would also take his strike rate back down
under two goals a game in the league. One strike would return it to
exactly two goals a game. Fowler already has five goals against
Bolton for the Reds in the Premiership.

El Hadji Diouf will make his first return to Anfield if he plays in
this one. He has scored goals for both sides in this premiership
fixture.

Referee : Rob Styles - taken charge of just one league game this
year for the Reds - home draw against United but was the man in
charge just a couple of weeks ago as the Reds beat Birmingham 7-0.
Bolton have had Styles for three games this season - two home wins
and an away defeat.

Betting : Liverpool 1/2, Bolton 5/1, Draw : 12/5

Liverweb Prediction : Liverpool 2 Bolton Wanderers 0
