FULHAM VS CHELSEA (2-2) EPL MATCHDAY 20
LIVERPOOL vs BOLTON (3-0) matchday 19
Rapidshare ( LFC ) - Rapidshare ( BBC ) - Mediafire 90 The full-time whistle goes. It's been a dominant display by the hosts but the Liverpool fans must wonder why their side can't always produce performances like this at Anfield. Still, the main thing for the Reds and their followers is that they're back on top of the table. As for Bolton, they didn't put up much resistence today and can't complain at the 3-0 scoreline. 90 Liverpool take a short corner. Alonso feeds in Benayoun whose shot is beaten away by Jaaskelainen. The goalkeeper then makes a point-blank save from an Ngog header. 90 Liverpool just running down the clock now. 90 Lovely disguised ball by Keane almost puts Ngog in but O'Brien intercepts. El Zhar then cuts inside and shoots but he can't keep his effort down. 89 El Zhar's pass almost picks out Keane in the box. There will be four minutes to add. 88 Carragher threads a ball through to Keane down the middle but Steinsson clears for a corner as the No.7 prepares to shoot. Bolton deal with the corner. 87 The injured Cahill can't really play a part anymore and Bolton have put him out of the way up front. 86 Jaaskelainen flaps at Alonso's fizzed corner. It's returned into the box and Bolton concede another. Hyypia gets his head to the second one but O'Brien does well to block and allow his goalkeeper to make the catch. 85 Steinsson nicks the ball away from Keane to concede a corner. 84 McCann does well to intercept Hyypia's pass to El Zhar. 83 Bolton's best moment so far as Smolarek takes a pass from Muamba and fires just wide of Reina's post. 82 Agger tries a long ball down the middle for Keane but O'Brien does enough to stop the striker shooting for his hat-trick. 81 Cahill returns. Bolton have already used all three subs so Megson will want to keep him out there. 80 Play held up as Cahill receives treatment. 78 Alonso chips a ball into the box but Bolton head clear. The visitors break but El Zhar gets back and wins a free-kick after being fouled by Davies. 76 Agger shepherds the ball behind with Nolan looking to pounce. 75 El Zhar cuts inside and drills a low shot towards the near post but he's off target. 74 Corner to Liverpool out on the right. Agger meets Alonso's cross but can only direct his header wide. 72 El Zhar looks busy since coming on but can't get a cross in from the left. 71 Benayoun is in acres out on the right but he attempts an early pass to Kuyt which is intercepted and a promising position for the hosts is wasted. 70 Into the final 20 minutes and Liverpool are in cruise control. 68 Kais in London writes: "Dave, excellent job with the Liverpool-Bolton commentary. Watching the game, but reading your comments as well. FYI, Torres' hat is called a toque. Canadian garment for the bloody weather he-he!" Cheers for that. My hat knowledge is generally poor so that's good info! 67 Keane and Kuyt run into each other in the Bolton box as Liverpool press forward again. 65 Jaaskelainen rather casually side-steps Benayoun as a pass-back threatens to put him in trouble. 64 Gerrard tries a pop from 30 yards out but doesn't get the desired connection and it rolls harmlessly wide. 63 Reina mis-kicks his clearance but Gerrard gets an important foot in to spare his goalkeeper's blushes. 62 Keane and Gerrard try a one-two on the edge of the box but the latter's return pass is too heavy and Bolton have a goal-kick. 61 McCann tries to win a corner down the right but Insua does enough to see the ball out. 60 Carragher does well to outmuscle Elmander down the left. 59 Bolton win back-to-back corners but can't make anything of them. 58 The Anfield crowd are in full voice now. Fernando Torres, sat in the stands wearing a nice white hat, nods his approval at Keane's finish. 58 GOAL - KEANE. A second for Keane and it starts with Reina. The goalkeeper's quick throw finds Alonso, he plays it out to Benayoun and his cross is turned home by Keane who has surely put this game to bed. 55 Insua shimmies past his man and finds Riera whose cross is cleared for a corner. In it comes but Bolton defend it well. 54 Riera is flagged offside as Liverpool look to get in again. 53 GOAL - KEANE. Gerrard feeds the ball through to Keane and the striker lashes the ball into the top corner. The hosts have that crucial second goal. 52 Keane's dummy isn't read by Kuyt and Bolton have the ball back again but Insua manages to head back to Reina. 51 Kuyt's crossfield ball is too strong for Riera. Liverpool haven't got into their rhythm yet in this second half. 50 Bolton win a corner down the right but it's gathered easily by Reina. 49 Bolton win a free-kick and try to pick out Davies. He wins the flick-on but Liverpool clear the second ball. 48 Good trickery by Keane down the left as he sells a series of dummies before crossing into the box. Bolton clear though. 47 Steinsson blocks off Riera and gets a severe warning from Wiley. Another like that and he'll be off. 46 Bolton start the second half with Davies on for Jlloyd Samuel. Gardner drops back to left-back. 45 Free-kick to Bolton midway inside the LIverpool half but the cross into the box is cleared. 44 Benayoun tricks his way into the visitors' box and wins a corner. It drops to Insua whose volley hits a Bolton defender. 43 Liverpool work the ball back and forth about 35 yards out from goal - a familiar pattern - but can't find a way through. 42 Kuyt's cut-back is cleared as Liverpool push for a second before the interval. 41 Carragher finds himself at outside left and thumps a left-foot volley towards the Bolton goal and it's not too far over. 40 Jaaskelainen catches but the corner has to be re-taken. This time the referee penalises Liverpool for a foul by Hyypia. 39 Keane drives into the area and earns a corner down the left. 38 A quick throw out from Reina finds Benayoun and sparks another Liverpool move. Agger strides forward and unleashes a shot but it fizzes well wide. 37 Gerrard opts to try and pick out Hyypia at the back post. Cahill gets there first and heads clear to Benayoun but his angled shot doesn't have enough swerve on it and goes wide. 36 Still all Liverpool here and they win a free-kick 30 yards out. A chance to shoot as it's in Gerrard range. 35 Liverpool work the ball out nicely to Insua but he balloons his cross into the crowd. 34 Keane thinks he's impeded on the edge of the area but ref Alan Wiley isn't interested. 33 A rare touch of the ball for Reina and it's a simple pick up. 32 No change in tactics by Bolton since they fell behind. The visitors have looked very subdued so far. 31 Alonso tries to find a defence-splitting pass but his ball forward is intercepted. 30 Half an hour gone and Liverpool are good value for their lead. 29 Benayoun gets behind the Bolton defence but his hanging cross is headed clear with Riera looking to pounce. 28 Andy O'Brien does well to hold off Kuyt after a slip by Muamba. 27 Liverpool deserved their goal after all that early pressure but the home crowd will want another sooner rather than later. 25 Alonso's delivery is headed behind for another - Liverpool's eighth of the game. 25 Taylor heads a crossfield ball behind for another Liverpool corner. 24 Liverpool win another corner after a good defensive clearance from Cahill. This one is nodded away by Nolan. 23 Benayoun looks to shoot in the box but Fabrice Muamba gets across to make a fantastic block for a corner. 22 Insua gives away possession and Bolton break but Liverpool have numbers back and the Reds have it back again. 21 Bolton ease the pressure by winning a free-kick just inside the LIverpool half. It's played into the area but Hyypia heads clear. 20 Good chance for Liverpool. Alonso fizzes in a cross but the onside, unmarked Kuyt can only head it over the bar. 19 The corner drops to Insua on the volley and his shot is beaten away by Jaaskelainen. Liverpool win another corner but Bolton clear this one away. 18 Nice link-up play between Hyypia and Benayoun before the Israeli's cross is cleared for a corner. 17 Patient passing from Liverpool before Kuyt pulls the trigger on the edge of the box but his shot is charged down. 15 Insua bursts forward but his ball to Kuyt is intercepted. Riera is then caught offside wide on the left. 14 Gary Cahill slices a clearance straight out of play when under no pressure. 13 Gardner tries to break forward but he's outnumbered with the visitors not prepared to commit too many men forward. 12 It's been a bright start by Liverpool but Bolton are putting 10 men behind the ball so it's the usual problem for the hosts. Can they break the defensive well down on this occasion? 11 Gerrard's corner is cleared out to Riera but he drags his left-foot shot horribly wide when well placed. 10 Good play by Riera who holds off two defenders before getting in his cross but it's headed clear. Liverpool press again and win a corner. 9 Johan Elmander tries to flick a ball through to Matt Taylor but can't get the direction. 8 Benayoun takes the ball down and moves into the box but he's penalised for using a hand. 7 Gerrard sprays a lovely ball out to Rieira, who finds Emiliano Insua but the young left-back's cross hits Keane and allows Jussi Jaaskelainen to gather. 6 Rieira tries to win the ball on the left edge of the box but concedes a goal-kick. 5 Benayoun looks lively down the right and his cross is cleared to Steven Gerrard but the skipper's shot is blocked. 4 Dirk Kuyt picks up a ball from Yossi Benayoun and wins Liverpool a corner. It's played deep and drops to Albert Rieira whose low drive is turned over by Robbie Keane who can't sort his feet out in time. 3 Kevin Nolan finds space in the box and Ricardo Gardner is completely unmarked at the far post. He attempts to pick him out but his floated ball is plucked out of the air by Pepe Reina. 2 Good early possession for Liverpool but Carragher's attempt to win a tackle down the right gives Bolton a goal-kick. 1 Liverpool get the game in play at Anfield. Chelsea's win over West Brom in one of the early kick-offs means the hosts need to win to end the day on top of the table. Sammy Lee is running things from the dugout but Rafa Benitez is back in the stands after recovering from his kidney stones operation. live commentary from skysports.com Teams

NEWCASTLE UNITED VS LIVERPOOL (1--5) EPL MATCHDAY 20
Highlights Video : EPL NEWCASTLE UNITED 1 - 5 LIVERPOOL It's all over here at St James' Park and Liverpool have cruised to an emphatic 5-1 victory over a hapless Newcastle side to ensure they head into 2009 on top of the Premier League table. It was a performance which further underlines the Reds are ready to go all the way and clinch the title but for the Magpies they must now make a dramatic improvement if they're to avoid a slide into the Championship 89 The resulting cross is played out to Lucas but his shot from 20 yards sails high into the stands behind the goal. 88 Liverpool should have another goal but Given saves superbly from Lucas' close-range header before Babel puts the rebound wide. It didn't appear to take a deflection but Liverpool have been awarded a corner. 87 Credit to the Magpies for their attempts to reduce the deficit. They win a free kick down the right but Guthrie's cross is cleared away by the Reds. 86 Newcastle get the corner clear and avoid further damage to the scoreline. 85 Liverpool raid down the left looking for their sixth goal but a cross into the box is hacked behind by Coloccini. 84 Although the initial corner is cleared, Newcastle continue to press forward and Reina has to be alert to save from Taylor's header. 83 Newcastle come close to a consolation when a Guthrie free kick is tipped over the bar by Reina. 82 Liverpool fans are making all the noise inside St James' Park although the home supporters are doing their best to drown them out with boos. 81 Newcastle are embroiled in a relegation fight and on this evidence there is plenty to suggest they can go down. They've been sadly well out of their depth today and a result like this can be extremely demoralising for the club. 78 This has been a cracking display from Liverpool and the scoreline is an ideal reflection of the game. 74 Reina is a little hurt after taking a knock and the game comes to a halt briefly. 73 Geremi almost catches Reina unaware with a free kick from virtually the half-way line and the Liverpool goalkeeper hurries back to keep it out. 72 Fortunately for Reina his terrible clearance finds a Liverpool defender saving him much embarrassment. 71 It's a job well done as far as Liverpool are concerned and they're content to go through the motions in the final 20 minutes of this clash. 68 Danny Guthrie has a crack from distance but his low shot is comfortably saved by Reina. 67 This is the performance of potential Premier League champions at St James' Park and they will head into the new year on top of the standings. 66 GOAL GERRARD - Lucas cuts open Newcastle's defence with a piercing through pass which Gerrard latches onto before charging into the box and delicately chipping his shot over Given for goal number four. 64 Liverpool are coasting right now and don't need to be in top gear to fend off the Magpies. 63 The hosts desperately need a goal soon if they're to give themselves a chance of getting a point out of this clash but that's looking increasingly unlikely. 62 Strong defending from Gutierrez prevents Liverpool progress on the left wing and Newcastle can clear to safety. 61 Lucas gets in behind N'Zogbia and threads a lovely pass through for Kuyt who is marginally caught offside. 59 Geremi bends his curling effort over the wall but the stranded Reina is relieved to see the ball crash against the bar and behind for a goal kick. 57 The delivery into the box causes problems for Reina, who completely misses his attempts to punch, and then picks up what looked to be a back-pass from Jamie Carragher. However the referee Mark Halsey says play on. 55 Newcastle have a free kick on the right wing after Ameobi is fouled by Agger, who escapes a booking. 54 N'Zogbia's cross from the left drifts out of play for a goal kick and that just about sums up Newcastle's quality this lunchtime. 53 Newcastle try to get forward through the middle but it's all rather frantic and the Reds clear their lines. 52 Liverpool are growing in confidence again and once more it appears as if we could be set for a cricket score at St James' Park. 51 Replays of that goal further highlight just how much of a gift that was for Liverpool. Having worked their way into a position to fight for a point, Newcastle have surely thrown their chance away. 49 Gerrard tries to get down the right wing and wins a corner after a challenge from N'Zogbia. 48 It's been a much brighter start from the hosts, who are undoubtedly on a high having clawed a goal back just before the break. 47 Ameobi looks to make an immediate impact as he bursts down the right wing but his cross evades everybody inside the box. 46 Liverpool get the second half under way at St James' Park looking to continue their dominance over Newcastle and secure all three points. Michael Morton has sent in a rather angry email to me about Newcastle, saying: "On the day Ashley says he's not selling, I see we're being well out played today. The whole of the Toon team should not get their wages for this performance. Can only see Liverpool going on to win this game 5-1 are maybe even by more!" 45 GOAL EDGAR - Slack defending from Liverpool allows David Edgar the time and space to direct a powerful header past Reina and into the net. 45 There will be just a minute of stoppage-time to play before the break and Newcastle have one last change with a corner. 44 The Magpies win a corner of their own and when the ball is swung into the box, Taylor's glancing header drifts just wide of the post. That could have changed the game. 43 Newcastle get the ball clear at last as they edge closer to the interval. 42 Indeed it is Hyypia who wins the header but this time Given is able to make a one-handed stop before his defenders shovel the ball behind for another corner. 41 Liverpool win another corner and Hyypia is up from the back to try to repeat his goal scoring exploits. 40 Joe Kinnear must now decide whether he'll instruct his side to go for broke after the break and risk conceding more or simply try to limit the damage. 39 It's very quiet at St James' Park with the crowd subdued by how much their team have been outplayed in this first half. 38 I think this game is all over as a contest and could now be a matter of how many goals Liverpool will score. Liverpool are not letting Newcastle see any of the ball and this must be frustrating to watch for the home fans. 37 Ryan Babel now bursts down the left wing but Newcastle prevent the cross and further problems. 35 Liverpool win a corner down the right after good work from Benayoun. 34 Gerrard is finding so much space in midfield and completely running the show right now. He deserved the goal and if they get another before the break then it's effectively job done. 33 Gutierrez slips a ball into the box for Damien Duff who slots his shot past a stationary Reina into the net. But it won't count because the offside flag is raised. 32 It's no more than Liverpool deserve and it's hard to see anyway back for the Magpies. If anything it could get ugly. 29 Liverpool are the only team looking to keep the ball and work their way forward as Newcastle continue to sit back. 28 The Magpies slow the game down after winning a free kick deep in their own half but they've got to find a way of hurting Liverpool in forward positions. They can't go on like this and expect not to concede. 27 Liverpool will win this clash at a canter if they continue to penn Newcastle back like this - but of course Given will have other ideas. 26 Gerrard goes for glory with an audacious volley from 30 yards but Given can watch this one bobble well wide. 25 Newcastle attempt to break Liverpool's stranglehold with an attack of their own but it comes to nothing and they certainly lack the creative quality today. 24 Taylor is still limping around and I wonder just how much longer he will continue, especially with Liverpool in such rampaging mood. 23 Newcastle simply can't keep up but the home fans are singing the name of Given, who is producing a one-man show to thwart Liverpool at St James' Park. 22 The visitors could have scored about three or four goals already and this time Hyypia's flick beats Given but is cleared off the line by N'Zogbia. 21 Liverpool have another corner and Given once again pulls off a cracking save to prevent a Lucas header finding the net. 20 Liverpool are all over Newcastle and quite how it's still 0-0 is simply down to Given. This time he saves from Leiva Lucas, who was standing just a couple of yards out with the goal at his mercy. Incredible. 19 Steven Taylor concedes a corner and more worryingly appears to be struggling after taking a knock in a challenge with Kuyt. 18 N'Zogbia gets forward for Newcastle on the left but his looping cross is easily claimed by Jose Reina. 17 Daniel Agger swings the ball into the box and Sami Hyypia rises highest to plant a firm header inches wide of the post. 16 Emiliano Insua is chopped to the ground by a late tackle from Jonas Gutierrez on the left but the Magpies man escapes a caution. 15 Newcastle are increasingly finding themselves stretched at the back as Liverpool crank up the pressure. 14 Liverpool are in full stride right now and Gerrard comes close with a powerful shot inside the box but once again he's denied by the agile Given. 13 The ball is delivered into the box but Liverpool clear their lines and will look to move forward. 12 Newcastle promptly break down the other end on the left wing and win a free kick in a promising position. 11 Gerrard exchanges passes with Kuyt before waltzing into the area and looks certain to score but when one-on-one with Given, the goalkeeper comes out on top. Best move of the match. 10 Liverpool are dominating possession at the moment but so far are struggling to find a way through. 9 Dirk Kuyt is set up by Gerrard inside the box but from a tight angle his fierce shot is blocked by the face of Shay Given. 8 Charles N'Zogbia hoists a cross into the box from the left wing and when the ball is headed clear, Fabricio Coloccini blasts a long-range volley just over the bar. 7 Steven Gerrard has the first shot of the game from distance but the ball sails high into the stands behind the goal. 6 When Liverpool have the ball Newcastle sit back and play an effective ploy of containment which is working a treat so far. 5 It's been a quiet opening few minutes here at St James' Park with both sides merely easing themselves into the game. 4 Newcastle are still very much involved in matters at the wrong end of the table and will be looking to keep it tight for the time being at least. Would they take a 0-0 if it was offered to them now? 3 Liverpool attack down the left wing but stout defending from the hosts prevents a cross being delivered into the box. 2 Rafa Benitez is in the stands watching the game from above but he's still evidently in communication with Sammy Lee on the bench. It will be interesting to see how his side approach today's game knowing that a win will ensure they head into 2009 on top of the table. 1 Newcastle get this clash under way at St James' Park aiming to derail Liverpool's title bid while also boosting their own hopes of climbing up the table. Ross Bicknell from Southport says: "I think that Liverpool will dominate from the start taking the lead with a fantastic double from Gerrard in the first half, with Gerrard completing his hat-trick early in the second." That certainly is an audacious prediction! Philip Barber has also got in touch, saying: "I see a tight game with two great goalkeepers on display! A Gerrard goal separating the two after 90 minutes, maybe, if Owen doesn't score first, early on." And finally just before the game kicks off we've got time to show you the thoughts of Shaunvir Samrai, who says: "I was hoping to see Torres back today but looks like he's not on the bench. It's a Liverpool victory for me and Keane will score. I would love to see alot more of Ryan Babel."

My initial tip of 3-1 in Liverpool's favour is looking distinctly possible now and can now be backed at just 12/5 so I hope you all listened to me! Michael Owen hasn't had a sniff of a chance so far and he's 14/1 to be the game's next goalscorer while he's 6/1 to net anytime. Gerrard has been the main man for Liverpool and I'm sure there's plenty more chances to come his way, making the 7/1 about him to score the next goal very tempting. Head now to skybet.com to place your in-running bets.45 The referee blows his whistle to end a one-sided first half in which Liverpool have forged their way into a thoroughly deserved 2-1 lead over Newcastle at St James' Park but in all honesty the margin should be more. Edgar's header has given Newcastle a glimmer of hope for the second half36 GOAL HYYPIA - The ball is floated into the box by Gerrard and Hyypia towers over Coloccini to direct a header into the top corner.31 GOAL GERRARD - Here come Liverpool once more and after a sustained spell of possession the ball is delivered low into the box by Yossi Benayoun's cut back pass and Gerrard blasts his fierce shot into the top corner of the net.

Both sides lacked the cutting edge with hosts, without a recognized striker in their 18-man squad, having to rely on midfielder Tim Cahill to lead the line.

result 16 draw and schedule UCL 2008/2009
You wait your turn Santa ... because we all know that watching a Uefa suit removing small balls from a plastic bowl is far more exciting than any Christmas malarkey. The draw for the first knockout stage of the Champions League is scheduled for 30 minutes from now, which probably means it will actually happen an hour from now after a lengthy speech from someone spectacularly boring, accompanied by someone pretty who doesn't say anything.
You already know this bit ... But in case you've forgotten, I've posted the full list of winners and runners-up below. First legs will be played on February 24-25 and second legs on March 10-11. Group winners get to play the second game at home.
Winners
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Juventus
Liverpool
Manchester United
Panathinaikos
Porto
Roma
Runners-up:
Arsenal
Atletico Madrid
Chelsea
Inter
Lyon
Real Madrid
Sporting Lisbon
Villarreal
10.43am Sky are treating us to thrilling footage from the scene where the draw will take place - a nondescript lecture hall in Nyon. In the meantime, I have an email.
"It's testament to Jose Mourinho's brashness that almost all possible draws for his Inter side will be 'edgy'," writes Richard Watkins. "If he avoids reunions with Barcelona or Porto, Mourinho could find himself catching up with old friends in the Kop or even Alex Ferguson. In fact, of Inter's possible opponents only Bayern remain uninsulted (to my knowledge) by Mourinho."
10.47am Expert analysis from Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in the Sky Studio: "Bayern Munich a German side, and you should never underestimate Germans."
10.50am Right then, here's who each of the English sides can face
Arsenal: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Panathinaikos, Roma
Chelsea: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Panathinaikos, Porto
Liverpool: Inter, Lyon, Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Villarreal
Manchester United: Atletico Madrid, Inter, Lyon, Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon
10.55am "Thirty minutes of Uefa time wasting? That sounds like enough time for Sir Alex Ferguson to close the deal with Real Madrid for some anti-virus software," chortles Bertil Murunga. In a mildly amusing twist, we've actually just heard that the seating plan in Nyon has placed United and Madrid's representatives next to each other.
11am Half an hour of filler later, we're going live to Nyon for ... some more filler.
11.02am Yup, Uefa general secretary David Taylor (the man at the top of this article) has trotted out on stage to explain why the Champions League is the Best Tournament in the World. I've actually never heard the word "best" used quite so many times in the space of a minute.
11.06am Uefa are treating us to a montage of all the teams still involved, but in the meantime I have an update from our man in Nyon, Jamie Jackson.
"A rather sparkling day here on the banks of Lake Geneva in Nyon as the sun shines through the floor-to-wall windows of Uefa HQ as we await the Champions League draw which, I'm told, should actually go off at around 11.30am.
"Of the English big boys, Manchester United and Liverpool were group winners, while Arsenal and Chelsea were runners-up so potential ties for
the latter two worth looking out for include Juventus, Bayern Munich or Barcelona. Liverpool and United will probably hope to avoid Jose Mourinho's Inter and, possibly, Real Madrid, who Sir Alex Ferguson's men were actually drawn against in the rehearsal - though the Spanish champions are in disarray, having just hired Juande Ramos, who of course, has a point to prove after Spurs.
"Apparently the only high-powered executive to in attendance is Danny Fiszman of Arsenal – there is no David Gill, Peter Kenyon or Rick Parry – so he will be bracing himself for a difficult tie followed by an even more awkward chat with journalists following the departure of Nancy Bracewell-Smith from the club's board.
'"I'm in total shock and very upset about the appalling way I have been treated," was her parting shot. "The board have no manners whatsoever and my views were ignored on many occasions.'"
11.10am Get ready, boys and girls, Taylor just tipped some balls into bowls ...
Here we go, then ...
schedule
First leg » Second leg :
Atlético - Porto 24/02 » 11/03
Lyon - Barcelona 24/02 » 11/03
Arsenal - Roma 24/02 » 11/03
Internazionale - Man. United 24/02 » 11/03
Real Madrid - Liverpool 25/02 » 10/03
Chelsea - Juventus 25/02 » 10/03
Villarreal - Panathinaikos 25/02 » 10/03
Sporting - Bayern 25/02 » 10/03
11.18am Well, well, well - it looks like we'll be having a Premier League v Serie A showdown come February. Arsenal, despite finishing second in their group, arguably got the easiest draw of any of the English sides. Ferguson should relish the prospect of getting one over on Mourinho, given their previous, while Claudio Ranieri will return to Stamford Bridge with Juventus. Liverpool, meanwhile, got another tough draw in Real Madrid, though the Spanish team have not been playing well lately.
11.23am Manchester United communications director Phil Townsend, known to his friends at Old Trafford as That Bloke We Send Out When Nobody Else Can Be Bothered, isn't too worried about the draw. "It's a cliche, but every team is strong at this stage of the competition," he chimes. Mostly he's just happy they didn't draw Madrid.
11.26am "Every team at this stage of the competition is going to be quality," echoes Chelsea secretary David Barnard. Bah, learn some new lines people.
11.30am Liverpool secretary Bryce Morrison is delighted with the draw. "It's an absolutely mouthwatering tie, and I'm relishing it really," he jabbers. "We were in Madrid earlier in the group stage and it's good to be going back again."
11.37am Here's Arsenal director Danny Fiszman. "We've stayed away from the favourite, and we've also stayed away from the longest trip, which would be to Panathinaikos," he notes happily. "Wenger's not concerned about that at all," he adds when asked whether the team were worried about having to play their second leg away from home.
11.39am Fiszman won't be drawn on the details of Bracewell-Smith's departure from the board, but he does say that "I don't think this makes us any more vulnerable at all," when pressed on whether the team could now be more susceptible to a takeover bid from Alisher Usmanov. Wenger, apparently does have funds available to spend in January if he wants them.
11.44am Right, that's me done. Paul Doyle is penning a blog on the meaning of it all right this very second though, so be sure to look out for that on the website very shortly.

It was initially offered to Fulham Football Club, but they angry it down. They advised affairs the acreage to the Great Western Railway Company, but ultimately absitively to begin their own football club instead, Chelsea, to absorb the arena as a battling to Fulham. Noted football arena artist Archibald Leitch, who had additionally advised Ibrox, Celtic Park, Craven Cottage and Hampden Park, was assassin to assemble the stadium.
As originally constructed, Stamford Bridge was an contest clue and the angle was initially amid in the average of the active track. This meant that assemblage were afar from the acreage of comedy on all abandon by the amplitude of active clue and, on the arctic and south sides, the break was decidedly ample because the connected abandon of the active clue appreciably exceeded the breadth of the football pitch. The amphitheater had a distinct angle for 5,000 assemblage on the east side. Advised by Archibald Leitch, it is an exact replica of the Johnny Haynes angle he had ahead congenital at the re-developed Craven Cottage (and the capital acumen why Fulham had alleged not to move into the fresh ground).

The amount of architecture the East Angle escalated out of ascendancy afterwards shortages of abstracts and a builders' strike; this, accumulated with added factors, saw the club go into decline.

The architecture of the angle was about amenable for Chelsea's banking crisis, which would've apparent the club abatement into administering but for the action of Abramovich. In borrowing some £70m from Eurobonds to accounts the project, Ken Bates put Chelsea into a perilous banking position, primarily because of the claim terms.

Liverpool have qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League as winners of Group D after Ryan Babel, Albert Riera and David Ngog found the net in a 3-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven.
PSV Eindhoven: Isaksson, Salcido, Brechet, Marcellis, Culina, Dzsudzsak, Simons (captain), Bakkal, Mendez, Lazovic, Amrabat. Subs - Ramos, Nyland, Manco, Pieters, Wuytens, Rodriguez, Koevermans
90+1 Keane tries to round off a good night with a goal but his left-footed curler is well off target.
88 N'gog tries his luck from the edge of the box but he gets under his left-footed effort. The youngster has grown in confidence since his goal.
85 Good run by Simons but the ball skids away from him before he can wrap his left foot round it.
Substitution82 Final change for PSV as Bakkal goes off for Stefan Nijland.
Substitution80 Final change for Liverpool as Martin Kelly makes way for stand-in skipper Jamie Carragher. It's a debut for Kelly.
Substitution79 Relmond Manco is introduced for PSV in place of Mendez. It all looks up for the Dutch side though. They've looked a poor side tonight.
78 Another great ball from Keane finds Lucas but the Brazilian can't find the finish to match.
Goal77 GOAL LIVERPOOL. What a ball from Keane and what a fine finish from N'Gog. The Irishman, who has had no luck in front of goal, produces a gem of a pass for the teenager who finishes beautifully with his left foot.
Substitution74 Another chance for a Liverpool youngster as goalscorer Riera makes way for Jay Spearing.
74 PSV hit the outside of the post after the Reds fail to clear a corner. Marcellis was up for it but the angle is too tight.
73 The good news is the Reds are currently top of Group D with Marseille and Atletico drawing 0-0.
Substitution71 Change for PSV and Danny Koevermans is introduced in place of Amrabat.
70 Superb control from N'Gog who feeds Babel. The Dutchman gets a cross in which finds Keane but the ball bounces off his arm and he concedes a free-kick.
Substitution68 Straight away Benitez makes a change, youngster Stephen Darby on for Arbeloa.
Goal67 GOAL LIVERPOOL. What a cracker from Riera. The Spaniard lets fly with his left foot from more than 20 yards and it swerves into the top corner beyond Isaksson's outstretched hand. Superb strike there.
Yellow Card66 Mendez is booked for a clumsy foul on Lucas. Painful blow for the young Brazilian there.
63 Arbeloa comes close to conceding an own goal as he clears off the head of Lazovic.
61 Lazovic is given offside as he looks to break free. Tight decision that one - and he was clean through.
60 Lucas gets in a cross which falls at the feet of Keane. The striker gets a left-foot shot away but it goes just wide.
58 Bable goes for goal again but his snapshot is just wide of the left hand post. Keane looks frustrated again that the ball did not find its way to him.
57 Good effort from Bakkal. There's plenty of power behind his effort but it is clutched by Cavalieri.
56 Gerrard, Alonso and Benayoun are warming up - is this a reminder to those out there to up the ante!
54 More news from west London and Cluj have equalised against Chelsea. Could be an agonising second half for Blues fans.
53 Keane and Babel combine well. The Dutchman goes for goal but his effort flies well over. Perhaps trying to find Keane again would have produced a better result - the Irishman certainly thinks so as he gives Babel a tongue-lashing!
52 The free-kick comes in but it comes to nothing and Lucas looks to work the ball clear before being blocked.
Yellow Card51 Dossena is cautioned after bringing down Mendez in a dangerous position.
49 Great chance for Keane who tricks his way into the box. He goes for goal but the ball is knocked clear. The referee points for a goal-kick when it was clearly a Liverpool corner.
49 Babel gets in a cross which looks destined for Keane but is just knocked off his toe end.
48 It's walking pace at the moment. Liverpool are just knocking the ball around without looking incisive.
46 The second half is underway. Let's hope for a better 45 minutes this time around. There are plenty in the Liverpool side who have a point or two to prove to their manager.
Helen's been in touch to say she's relaying my commentary by text to her son in the RAF who has no computer access. Glad to be of service Helen!
Half Time THAT'S HALF-TIME. It's been pretty dull fare but things sprang to life in the last ten minutes. Join me after the break - and if you've any comments on the first half, Liverpool's display or knockout stage opponents then drop me a line - chris.harvey@bskyb.com
Goal45+1 GOAL LIVERPOOL: Ryan Babel, back on home soil, gets up well to divert Lucas' free-kick beyond Isaksson to level things. The Dutchman had disappeared for 20 minutes but he's back with a bang to level things here.
44 First opening of the game for Liverpool as Dossena finds the head of N'Gog but the teenager can only nod straight at Isaksson.
43 Appeals for handball against Carragher as Lazovic looks to play the ball into the danger area, The referee waves play on.
42 News from Stamford Bridge and Chelsea are a goal up against Cluj, Kalou the scorer. That would be enought to put all four English clubs into the last 16.
Yellow Card41 Arbeloa goes into the book along with Simons. Not really sure why the PSV skipper was cautioned there!
40 Goalscorer Lazovic is rolling around in agony after a challenge from Arbeloa. PSV are up in arms and surrounding Russian referee Nikolai Ivanov.
38 No sign of a Liverpool response yet but as things stand PSV could sneak into the Uefa Cup.
Yellow Card36 Riera is booked. I can only assume it's for protesting the handball before the PSV goal.
Goal35 GOAL PSV: Mistake by Mascherano as Dzsudzsak sends in the corner. The Argentine tries to head the ball away but it ricochets off Amrabat and drops to the feet of Danko LAzovbic who lashes the ball home. There are suggestions of a handball but it's an absolute bonus for the Dutch side.
34 Culina gets space down the Liverpool left and fires in a cross which is blocked by Dossena a the expense of a corner.
32 Mendez has the chance to create some PSV pressure but his free-kick is over-hit and sails into the arms of Cavalieri.
31 Lucas picks out Riera in a dangerous position with the free-kick but the Spanish winger fails to get the ball across. That was well worked by the visitors.
30 Keane goes down under the challenge of Simons as he looks to spin away.
28 Things are pretty flat at the moment - there's no real urgency from either side. Anyone got any thoughts on who Liverpool would like to face in the knockout rounds? Let me know - chris.harvey@bskyb.com
24 Riera gets in a testing cross but Isaksson gets it away under pressure from N'Gog.
21 Amrabat looks a bit of a handful and causes problems in the Liverpool defence but Agger stretches out his left leg to hack clear.
18 Arbeloa gets some space on the right to fire in a cross but it's easily dealt with by the PSV defence.
16 Amrabat runs at the Liverpool defence but he is shepherded out by Carragher.
15 First real chance of the game goes to PSV. Timmy Simons lets fly from 20 yards out and Cavalieri beats the ball away. That was a powerful effort there from Simons.
13 Keane has had plenty of the ball in the opening few minutes. He, Babel and Riera could make it a tough night for the home defence.
10 PSV, who can only make a Uefa Cup spot at best, look a little tentative on their home turf. They must be there for the taking tonight.
9 Another powerful run by Babel who finds Keane in the box. The Irishman goes down under a soft challenge by Mendez but there are only tentative appeals for a penalty.
8 Agger brings the ball out of defence and feeds Keane. He links up with Riera and threatens to burst into the Dutch box but is foiled by Brechet.
6 Good run by Riera who cuts inside and across the PSV box but his flick through fails to find Keane.
5 Nordin Amrabat makes a run at the heart of the Liverpool defence and he's hauled back by Javier Mascherano at the expense of a free-kick. The ball is pumped into the Reds' box but is easily dealt with by Cavalieri.
3 Ryan Babel gets an early chance to run at the PSV defence but his ball in is poor and is easily cleared. Any PSV fans out there? Then get in touch with me - chris.harvey@bskyb.com
2 PSV are playing the ball about nicely at the start but you do feel Liverpool should have the quality to unlock them at some stage.
1 The match is underway and Keane is straight into the action and wins a free-kick 25 yards out. Lucas takes it short and the cross is whipped in but Albert Riera heads over.

Referee Olegario Benquerenca separates the players as Mamadou Niang of Marseille squares up to Javier Mascherano of Liverpool. For all the action Marseille could aggregation though, it was not abundant as Liverpool won 1-0 to beforehand to the aftermost 16 in the Champions League.
Liverpool are through to the aftermost 16 of the Champions League but afar from that they won't booty too abounding positives from the bold tonight. Marseille were the more good ancillary for the majority of the bold and had they bedevilled addition like Torres up front, they would absolutely accept won the bold accustomed the affairs they created. Liverpool were absolutely poor but got the job done and that's the capital thing.
90 The final whistle goes and somehow Liverpool have held on for a 1-0 win here at Anfield tonight.
90 There will be three minutes of added time.
89 Bonnart goes off for Samassa.
88 Alonso commits a foul as he challenges for Gerrard's corner.
87 Lucas combines with Alonso but his cross into the box is headed clear by Hilton.
85 Lucas Leiva comes on for Kuyt.
84 Valbuena fouls Mascherano on the right flank and Liverpool have a free-kick.
82 Mascherano cynically chops down Valbuena in midfield after being dispossessed and the Marseille players are furious. There's a coming together of about 10 or 12 players. Mascherano is booked as is Niang.
81 Another glorious chance for Niang but he sends his close-range header wide of Reina's goal. He has missed some gilt-edged chances tonight.
80 Ben Arfa goes down on the left and it's another free-kick to Marseille. Liverpool have been so, so poor all night it has to be said. Marseille are totally dominating.
78 Kone is replaced by Mathieu Valbuena.
77 Ziani's free-kick into the box only needs a touch to direct it past Reina in the Liverpool goal but somehow everyone misses it and Reina gathers.
76 Xabi Alonso shoots well wide from 30 yards out.
75 Zubar again lashes the ball well over the bar from 35 yards out when he has team-mates around him in better positions.
73 A really good pass by Taiwo finds Kone down the left wing but he is well tackled by Carragher.
72 Zubar hauls down Torres on the left flank. Liverpool have a free-kick and some respite.
70 Great play by Niang again as he paces away from the Liverpool defence but his left-footed effort is brilliantly blocked by Dossena. Liverpool are hanging on here.
69 Ben Arfa takes the free-kick and his curling effort is brilliantly turned round the post by Reina, superb goalkeeping. But Liverpool are all over the place here, Marseille are dominating.
68 Dossena chops down Niang right on the line of the box - that was so close to being a penalty. A free-kick is given but Liverpool get lucky there.
67 Adam Williams says: "I'd like to respon to Chris. Although I agree with him about Benitez making rash decisions, come on Liverpool, and that we can win the Champions and Premier challengers is because of Rafa. Since 04/05 we have become world class again and his decisions have been vital. No one is a better tactician and after all, we all make mistakes from time to time. Rafa is certainly not holding us back in our quest for glory League, I think the main reason we can consider ourselves title this season, he's pushing us on!"
66 Zubar blasts high over the bar from around 35 yards out. A real waste.
65 Renee Lancaster says: "If you consider how much Liverpool have developed over the Benitez era it's amazing, I think people need to give him his credit and not get on his back so quickly. He is able to attract some of ther best players in the world. If he were to leave an awful lot of players would follow him, just look at Drogba...looks like he's going to Inter.
If given the same amount of time as Ferguson, Benitez will be a legend."
64 Benayoun comes on for Reira.
63 Gerrard sends Torres clean through on goal - but the Spaniard is flagged for offside.
62 Ben Arfa easily beats Dossena but his low ball across goal misses everyone. Great play by the winger, but again the final ball is lacking.
61 Good move by Liverpool leads to Reira forcing Mandanda into a save with a powerful shot from a tight angle.
61 Yossi Benayoun looks like he will be coming on shortly.
60 Liverpool break quickly but Javier Mascherano's pass is far too hard for Torres and Taiwo collects.
59 Carragher defends well against Kone but concedes a corner.
58 Ben Arfa's pass across the box for Cheyrou is well cut out by Kuyt.
57 Gerrard shoots a few feet wide from 25 yards out.
56 Another chance for Niang. Great turn to beat Carragher 30 yards from goal but his effort on goal is a weak one and Reina easily holds it.
55 Niang gets in behind the Liverpool defence again but this time he is offside.
54 Gerrard's long ball looking for Torres is once again overhit by the Liverpool captain.
53 Chance for Niang but he just fails to get a connection on a chipped ball forward. A warning for Liverpool there.
52 Niang drops deep but his pass forward for Kone is cut out.
51 Taiwo clips the heels of Kuyt on the Liverpool right.
49 Chris thinks "we have a great chance doin both champ leaugue an the league, only thing holding us back is Benitez I think, he can make some weird first team choices sometimes, hasn been as bad this year but he also makes some rash decisions on players to bring on at important times in matches!!! If Benitez sorts that out we will be sorted!!C'mon Pool!!!"
48 Zubar gets free at the back post again but sends his header wide. He was offside in any case.
47 Zubar makes a good challenge on Torres inside the box at the expense of a corner.
46 Liverpool get the second half under way. Andrea Dossena is on for Liverpool to replace Aurelio.
Kris Jones says: "Keith, you should learn your Liverpool history as a Bluenose. Yes, Shanks lead us into Europe for the first time but we were only champions of the UEFA cup under him, Rafa won the European cup, the BIG one."
Keith Abbot says: "I know Benitez passes Shankly's Euro record tonight, but it not an impressive record to attain. Shanks took Liverpool from nothing to Euro champs, These days it's easier to qualify for the CL, and there are a lot more meaningless games. Shanks also did it over many more years. And I'm an Evertonian !"
Liverpool have barely moved out of third gear but lead 1-0. Marseille have enjoyed plenty of possession but have failed to really trouble Liverpool in the final third, a few long-range shots apart. Marseille need to win this game which may play in into Liverpool's hands in the second 45.
45 The half-time whistle goes with Liverpool leading 1-0 thanks to Gerrard's strike.
45 Reira finds space on the edge of the box and his shot on the turn is turned round the post by Mandanda.
45 There will be one minute of added time.
45 Gerrard hauls down Zubar from behind with a sliding challenge and is lucky not to be shown a yellow card.
43 Promising break by Marseille but Ben Arfa's shot from the edge of the box lacks power and Reina gathers.
42 Cheyrou almost finds Kone with a through ball but Arbeloa cuts it out superbly.
41 The visiting fans are still making a fantastic noise even though their side is 1-0 down. Marseille have played some really good stuff but it's hard to see where goals will come from.
39 Ben Arfa carelessly strokes the ball out of play and Liverpool have a throw.
38 Marseille need to win the game and they will be buoyed by the fact Liverpool haven't kept a clean sheet in this group yet.
37 From the corner, Reina makes a mess of it, completely misjudging the flight of the ball and Zubar heads over when it looked easier to score. Great chance for Marseille.
36 Great strike from long range by Taiwo which Rein does fantastically well to touch onto the post and divert for a corner. What a hit by the defender.
35 Ziani's decent ball into the box is completely missed by all of his team-mates.
34 In the other game in this group, Atletico lead PSV 2-0 so Liverpool are up against it as far as topping the group goes.
32 Torres has been quiet so far, he hasn't scored at Anfield yet this season, will he get it tonight?
31 Again Marseille keep the ball really well under pressure but don't trouble Liverpool in the final third.
30 Bonnart delivers the ball into the box from deep but none of his team-mates can get on the end of it.
29 Torres almost gets on the end of a through ball but Taiwo defends well.
28 Marseille gift possession back to Liverpool but Albert Reira can't make the most of it.
26 Liverpool are enjoying the bulk of possession now, Gerrard's goal looks to have deflated the French side.
25 Marseille must really go for it now, they need to win here and that will surely play into Liverpool's hands.
23 GOAL - Who else on a Champions League night but Gerrard? He ghosts in at the back post completely unmarked and powers a header past Mandanda in the visiting goal. Excellent header and Liverpool have the lead
22 First real chance of the game falls to Kuyt. Good play by Torres on the right as he beats his man and chips into the middle for Kuyt but it's a difficult header for the Dutchman and although Mandanda makes the save, he makes a meal of it.
21 Niang has picked up a knock now but it looks like he can continue without treatment.
20 Marseille lose possession again in their own third and Kuyt almost finds Torres with a cut-back but it's cut out. Marseille look comfortable but have made a few errors at the back.
19 Gerrard's first-time pass out wide is overhit. Liverpool are struggling to break down Marseille at the moment.
18 Kone is back on the field after his short spell of treatment.
17 Daniel Agger pushes forward and lets fly at goal from 25 yards out with his left foot but it's an easy take for Steve Mandanda.
16 The striker is receiving treatment and has gone off, for how long we don't know yet. But play resumes with Liverpool in possession.
14 Great skill by Ben Arfa as he beats two men in his own half before feeding Niang but the move breaks down inside the box as Bakari Kone goes to ground and stays there clutching his shoulder.
13 Hatem Ben Arfa runs the ball out of play on the left flank and Liverpool have a throw.
12 Lee Dawes answers the point about Liverpool's home form. He says: "now i understand that the home form as not been what were used to seeing but we have managed to keep pace with chelsea and also stay ahead of man u and arsenal so i dont think that this is a problem yes we would love it to be like the past couple of seasons but if we lift the title at end of season who cares"
11 Marseille are having a go here, they have to, if they don't win they are out.
10 The Marseille fans are making all the noise in the first 10 minutes, we've hardly heard a peep from the home fans so far.
9 Blake Tovey reckons: "Great decision by Benitez to drop keane - hes been a real flop so far. great to see gerrard back and i predict a 3-0 win for liverpool. A torres double and a superb strike from gerrard - having these 2 back fully fit will really aid our title ambitions - champions league and premiership winners 2009!!"
8 Kuyt takes advantage of a mistake at the back but his low cross looking for Fernando Torres is cut out unconvincingly by Bonnart.
7 Dirk Kuyt tries to release Steven Gerrard on the right but his ball is just too long.
6 Liverpool press the ball well but the visitors look good in possession and Jamie Carragher is forced to scramble clear a Taiwo cross.
5 Buddy Stamper isn't convinced about Benitez's team selection, saying: "This game is important to Rafa and Liverpool but I would have preferred a more attacking team!"
3 Alvaro Arbeloa almost gets in behind the Marseille full-back Taiwo but eventually the last touch is by the Liverpool man and it's a goal-kick to the visitors.
2 Shannon emails in to say: "Gareth, im watching your minute by minute update from my desk at work in New Zealand and am looking forward to a reds win. After the unconvincing display against Fulham I'm hoping the reds will come out firing and put Marseille away early." Liverpool haven't been firing on all cylinders at home this season, drawing with Stoke and struggling in other games, how much of a concern is that for Reds fans?
1 Marseille get the game under way here at Anfield.
