Biscan to play Tuesday against Charlton
Added by James Roberts on 30 January 2005 | Discuss in forums | Have you read today's Kopblog?
Due to injury to Xabi Alonso and a one-match suspension to Dietmar Hamann, Croatian Igor Biscan will start in the center of midfield along with captain Steven Gerrard.
The 26-year old midfielder's contract expires at the end of this season, and he will be looking to stake a claim to renew it with an impressive performance against 6th placed Charlton who are even with the Reds with points.
With a win, Liverpool can close in on Merseyside rivals Everton who currently occupy 4th place; and overtake Charlton and Middlesbrough (who are both even with Liverpool at 37 points.)
The Reds won the opposite fixture at Anfield in October by the score of 2-0 after goals by John Arne Riise and Luis Garcia.
Charlton and Liverpool are both coming off Cup wins (albeit in different competitions), with Charlton winning 3-2 against Yeovil in the FA Cup and Liverpool winning 1-0 away at Watford in the Carling Cup.
