Champions League Team News

Liverpool Boss Gerard Houllier is hoping his England star Emile Heskey is fit for the Champions League Clash with Spartak Moscow tomorrow night.

Steven Gerrard is still out with a hip injury suffered on International duty with England.

Houllier said "He can play several positions upfront and sacrifice himself for the team. You win things when you have players of the calibre of Emile Heskey," the Frenchman said.

"Not just because of his football quality but also the mental attitude. Wherever Emile plays, he delivers.

"I signed Emile because of these qualities. He's a diamond of a player, he embodies all the right qualities of a professional footballer.

"He's very hard working, sacrifices himself for the team. He's always decisive because he's so strong."
