Liverpool Vs Juventus

Tonight at Anfield two of the biggest sides in the world, face each other 20 years on from the tragedy that was Heysel Stadium. May 29 1985 is now an infamous day in football, 39 people were killed and football was never quite the same again.

There will be a minutes silence before kick off and the Juventus fans are to be given a black, white and red armband, inscribed with 'friendship' in both English and Italian.

Liverpool will be happy to see the return of Milan Baros, currently serving a domestic ban, as are expected to play him on his own up front, with the impressive Igor Biscan to supply support from midfield.

Gerrard apparently volunteered to play as a partner for Baros, but he is expected to play in an advanced midfield role.

Capello, will be more than happy to welcome back Pavel Nedved, quite possibly if fit, one of the best midfielders in Europe and likely to cause Liverpool a headache or two.

I expect a close cagey game, but at the end Juventus will just prove too strong for Liverpool.
