Lesotho Soccer: Manchester City 3-0 Liverpool: Sheikh Mansour witnesses Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez & co crush Mascherano-less Reds in Premier League

Adam Johnson stars in convincing win...
Carlos Tevez

Adam Johnson starred for Manchester City as Roberto Mancini's side beat Liverpool 3-0 at Eastlands to claim their first Premier League win of the season.

Carlos Tevez bagged two goals and Gareth Barry the other after combining with new signing James Milner to open the scoring for the home side.

Liverpool were denied a route back into the game by a Joe Hart double-save as City finished looking convincing victors.

Mancini handed a debut to former Aston Villa star Milner but Mario Balotelli would have to wait for his Premier League bow due to a knee injury. Joleon Lescott returned to the side at left-back but there was no place for World Cup winner David Silva in the City attack.

The visitors handed Fernando Torres a first start of the season but travelled to Eastlands without Javier Mascherano, whom manager Roy Hodgson suggested had been left in the wrong frame of mind amidst speculation surrounding his future. Lucas Leiva instead partnered Steven Gerrard in central midfield in a positive 4-4-2 formation, with new signing Christian Poulsen on the bench.

City were playing in front of Sheikh Mansour for the first time and the man who has shelled a fortune into the club had to wait just 13 minutes for evidence of a return on his investment as five signings of his regime combined to put Mancini’s side ahead.

Adam Johnson, who had earlier fired just wide with a fizzing effort from 25 yards, played a through ball into Milner in the penalty area, and the club’s latest arrival pulled the ball back for fellow former Aston Villa man Barry, who coolly slotted past Reina for the opener.

The home side did not let up as Tevez latched onto a long ball and flashed a shot into the side netting a minute later and Barry set about doubling his tally, but his long range effort failed to trouble Reina as it flashed well wide of the target.

It was a difficult opening half an hour for Liverpool as they were unable to keep possession for long periods, but David Ngog finally forced a diving save from Joe Hart with a low but tame shot to the England international’s left just over 10 minutes from the interval.

The hosts threatened twice in quick succession as Adam Johnson went closer still with a low drive and a piece of trickery from Tevez almost saw him carve an opening, but Steven Gerrard would have the final two chances of the half, missing the target from distance on both occasions.

Manchester United will not win the Premier League unless Rio Ferdinand gets fit and returns to Rolls-Royce best

Jonny Evans struggled to subdue Bobby Zamora at Craven Cottage...
By Wayne Veysey | Chief correspondent | goal.com

When the shadows begin to close in on the Premier League season, a point for Manchester United at a Craven Cottage that threatened to rock off its creaking hinges may come to be seen as a valuable one.

So vibrant and committed were Fulham on Sunday that the solid foundations carefully laid by Roy Hodgson show no signs of being bulldozed on Mark Hughes’ watch.

The hosts, whose compact, atmospheric home on the Thames seems to imbue the players with the kind of extra powers once the preserve of Southampton at the Dell, twice came from behind and even kept out a penalty cruelly awarded for Damien Duff merely kneeing the ball a couple of inches into his own hand.

Yoga Basic Plus. 
Read in 90 minutes.

The moral high ground was already theirs by the time Brede Hangeland sent a last-gasp header crashing into Edwin van der Sar’s net to cancel out his own unfortunate stab into the Fulham goal moments earlier.

As unfortunate as Duff was to concede a penalty, Nemanja Vidic was lucky that referee Peter Walton did not point to the spot after he got up close and personal with Moussa Dembele’s shirt.

United played their part in a nose-to-nose showdown in which, in the best Premier League tradition, neither side were willing to blink first.

After the visitors had pummelled Fulham in the early skirmishes, Hughes’ came back off the ropes and responded with a few well directed punches of their own, enough for United’s spell at their hoodoo ground to now read one league point gained in three seasons.

Credit is due to Fulham for pressing and harrying United with great intensity in the last three-quarters of the game. Hughes’ team refused to meet their doom and, led by the effervescent Bobby Zamora, always offered a threat to the visitors’ goal.

It was the backline that was the weakest link in United’s chain. Sir Alex Ferguson’s team won three consecutive Premier League titles based on the Vidic-Rio Ferdinand-Patrice Evra-Edwin van der Sar axis complimented by the versatility of Wes Brown, John O’Shea and the more infrequent appearances of Jonny Evans and Gary Neville.

Strikers win games and defences win titles, goes the refrain. By that logic, United are less well equipped than they were during their 2007-2009 period of dominance.

The manner in which Zamora monstered Evans will do nothing for United fans worried that he is not the solution to the questions posed by Ferdinand’s increasingly lengthy absences.

Zamora’s height, upper body strength, technique and increasing confidence in his ability to manoeuvre centre-halves where they don’t want to go was a textbook lesson in centre-forward play.

The new England targetman was also canny enough to realise that Evans is the junior of United’s second-choice centre-half pairing and attached himself to the Irishman’s left-sided station.

It was the key to Fulham gaining a foothold on a gripping encounter after the Paul Scholes Appreciation Society gained new members with his latest masterful finish and early command of the midfield.

But, just as Scholes and United faded, so Fulham and Zamora grew in strength and belief and by the time the whistle blew on a rousing finale, Evans’ reputation had taken a dent.

LESOTHO SOCCER: Arsenal 6-0 Blackpool: Gunners Whitewash 10-Man Seasiders

Holloway's side brought crashing back down to earth after Gunners hammering.

By Michael Landon | goal.com

Arsenal were in rampant mood to ruthlessly dispatch newly promoted Blackpool 6-0 inside the Emirates on Saturday afternoon. The Seasiders were subject to a Theo Walcott hat-trick and a sending off as Wenger's side put down a marker for the season.

Walcott was the star of the show in the first half with a brace each side of an Andrei Arshavin penalty after Ian Evatt was dismissed for a professional foul. After the break, Abou Diaby struck before Walcott found his third. To round it all off on a fine night for the Gunners, summer signing Marouane Chamakh opened his account for the Gunners with a late header.

The suspension of new center-back signing Laurent Koscielny and injury to Samir Nasri meant Arsene Wenger had to shuffle his pack slightly from that which started at the Gunners opening fixture at Anfield. Alex Song was drafted into central defense whilst Tomas Rosicky was given a starting berth after coming off the bench last week. Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie would again wait on the bench.


Blackpool manager Ian Holloway selected an unchanged eleven that recorded a shock victory over Wigan athletic last Saturday aside from the inclusion of Ludovic Sylvestre ahead of Brett Ormerod. New Israeli signing Dekel Keinen was given a spot on the bench.

The Seasiders would have expected a much tougher test than their Premier League debut at the DW Stadium last week and certainly Holloway's side were put under pressure early at the Emirates. Walcott has impressed in fits and starts with the Gunners lately but he started this match in good form. The England international was giving Stephen Crainey the run-around from the off and a good dart into the box should have brought an early goal when Walcott squared but the Gunners had nobody making an attacking run and the ball rolled harmlessly wide.

It was a warning from Arsenal but Blackpool didn't seem overawed and had their own attack at goal down the other end mintes later. Sylvestre picked out David Vaughn in space in the final third and the forward turned into goal and had a go with his right foot but Almunia was well placed to catch his shot.

Admirable as it was, Blackpool were bombing forward but looking too open and it was only a matter of time before they were punished. And punishment arrived in the form of a great break from the Gunners on the eleventh minute. The ball was worked up to Andrey Arshavin and the Russian slipped through Walcott, who was in miles of space, and the Englishman ran into the box and side-footed past Mathew Gilks to give his side an early lead.

The Seasiders were down and looking out of their depth at this point. Rosicky was floating around and running things in midfield and Walcott was causing terror down the right flank.

It should have been two goals to the good for Arsenal when Walcott simply put on the burners and ran at the Blackpool back-line before sliding through Marouane Chamakh for a great one-on-one chance, but the Moroccan fluffed his lines and Gilks dived out to smother the chance.

In a rare foray forward, brave Blackpool strung together a move to give Arsenal a scare at the back, Crainey stealthed down the left channel and delivered a delicious ball to the back post but Gary Taylor-Fletcher could only head wide to miss a great chance.

If things were hard for the visitors, they got a whole lot harder when Holloway's side were reduced to ten-men. Chamakh was slipped in-behind the opposition back-line easily by Arshavin and just on the edge of the box he was brought down by Ian Evatt. It was inconclusive as to whether the foul was actually inside the box or not but referee Michael Jones pointed to the spot, and in double bother to the Seasiders, pulled out a red card for Evatt.

Arshavin stepped up to the spot and powered the penalty into the bottom left of goal. 2-0 up and with the man advantage, Arsenal could now really put on a show.

Holloway had to do something to save a potential embarrassment so he took off Sylvestre and brought on Keinan to shore up the defense.

The tactical shift didn't seem to be effective in stemming an Arsenal tide though and on the 33rd minute, Blackpool were breached again. Walcott, who had been impressive all game long, would be the scorer after taking up a good position in the box and being fed the ball by Jack Wilshere. With Keinan behind him, Walcott was allowed to easily turn his man and fired a shot across goal which out-foxed keeper Gilks and nestled into the back of the net.

It was wave after wave of red and white coming forward now and the Gunners were threatening a fourth. The full-backs were getting in on the action now and a great run up the channel by Gael Clichy allowed him to deliver a peach of a cross at the near post which Chamakh hit on the volley. Thankfully for the visitors, Gilks was adept enough to beat the shot away.

Blackpool must have been wondering when the tide would abate when at the end of the half Arsenal squandered another great chance with a lightning break. Arshavin ran 30 yards before sliding the ball to the feet of Walcott on the right of goal but the Englishman squared ball back across the box was mis-directed at Chamakh and the Seasiders were let off.

The second half and it looked business as usual with Walcott immediately resuming his one-sided relationship with Crainey and putting the defender on the back foot with an attempted run into the box. This time though, the Scot managed to dispossess the forward with a well timed sliding tackle.

Unfortunately for Blackpool, Arsenal had started the second in rampant mood again and less than five minutes after the resumption, a fourth goal was notched.

The 'Pool backline was understandably occupied with the Gunners attack on the edge of the box and that allowed Bakary Sagna acres of space to deliver a great cross into the danger-zone from the right flank.

Abou Diaby timed his run well and showing his sublime technique, hit the cross on the half-volley and the ball flew across goal and into the far right corner of the goal. Gilks had no chance.

Blackpool were all washed out now and Diaby nearly found another goal minutes after his
first after jinking into the box but fired wide on this occasion with the opposition defense all at sea.

If you give Arsenal this much time and space in their own back-yard you are in for a hiding. Blackpool must have learned that lesson by now but the Gunners were determined to hammer it through and found a fifth goal in what was becoming something of a routine during the game.

Diaby strode onto the edge of the box and fed into Walcott in the box. The Englishman was threatening a hat-trick all game and he found it by turning and firing into the bottom right of goal for an excellent finish.

At this point with Blackpool barely able to get out of their half, Arsenal had the luxury of resting a few of their star performers so the excellent Walcott and Diaby were both rested and on came Carlos Vela and returning captain Cesc Fabregas to a huge ovation.

That didn't exactly make things easier for Blackpool, such is the quality of the Arsenal squad, and soon the home side were threatening a sixth.

Chamakh will rarely get an easier chance to score than in this game but the Moroccan missed a sitter after Arshavin crossed to him at the far post. The Morroccan was in the right place at the right time, which would be encouraging for Wenger, but again he fluffed the chance and headed wide when he was un-marked and five-yards in front of goal.

To Blackpool's credit, they seemed to rally somewhat in an attempt to not concede any more goals. They could hardly get worse. But they managed to shut out the Gunners for as long a period as any after the sixth goal.

But that did not stop Arsenal rounding off their night by getting summer recruit Chamakh finally off the mark in his goal-scoring account. Vela won a corner and the Moroccan finally made his chance tell by rising highest and burying the cross with a neat header.

Right at the death Wilshere tried to find his first for the season after running clear through but the ball got stuck between his feet. Arsenal and Wenger won't mind too much though after thoroughly blowing away the opposition on the day.

PREMIER LEAGUE: Arsenal vs Blackpool - Preview

By Graham Lister
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kieranlynam

Tangerine dreams of Emirates upset

Having soared to joint first place in the Premier League table by comprehensively beating Wigan Athletic on the opening day, Blackpool travel to the Emirates for what is likely to prove a sterner examination of their top-flight credentials against Arsenal.

Goals from Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Marlon Harewood – who netted twice – and Alex Baptiste gave the Tangerines a dream debut in the Premier League, and they will be hoping to draw on that momentum to spring a major surprise this Saturday.

Arsenal began their own campaign on Merseyside, where they salvaged a 1-1 draw against Liverpool with help from an uncharacteristically clumsy Pepe Reina. It was not a wholly convincing performance from Arsene Wenger’s side, though a point at Anfield is a decent return, and they should feel happier on home turf where many teams have been eclipsed by the Gunners’ fluent passing game in the four years since they moved into the stadium.

Arsenal have not, though, enjoyed the best of weeks. Central defender Laurent Koscielny, who avoided serious injury from the rash challenge that saw Joe Cole sent off at Anfield, was himself dismissed in the closing minutes when he was somewhat harshy adjudged to have handled the ball deliberately. But while his absence will be temporary, those of two midfielders will be longer. Samir Nasri, who looked sharp in pre-season and also impressed against Liverpool, had to undergo surgery on a knee surgery and is likely to be out for a month, while promising youngster Emmanuel Frimpong injured cruciate knee ligaments in training and has been ruled out for up to nine months.

Meanwhile, Wenger’s efforts to strengthen his squad in the transfer market were frustrated when Fulham rejected a second bid for Mark Schwarzer, meaning that Arsenal’s goalkeeping problems remain unresolved; incumbent Manuel Almunia was beaten at his near post by David Ngog last weekend. Arsenal also reportedly made an offer for Sevilla’s centre-half Sebastien Squillaci in midweek, but at the time of writing no deal has been struck or the France international.

However Wenger shuffles his pack for the Seasiders’ first league meeting with Arsenal since March 1971, he knows that his side must win if their title bid is not to stall early on; the emphatic victories already secured by rivals Chelsea and Manchester United have confirmed that there is no margin for error, especially in home matches.

On a wave of euphoria following their outstanding start to Premier League life at Wigan, Blackpool will be gunning for a bigger scalp in north London this weekend. They may not have beaten Arsenal away since 1958, but that won’t daunt manager Ian Holloway, currently perceived to be a miracle worker at Bloomfield Road. Some concerns were raised about Holloway’s future in midweek following the resignation as chairman and director of the club by Karl Oyston, though the manager himself insists it’s business as usual.

And he succeeded in adding to his squad by signing Israel defender Dekel Keinan from Maccabi Haifa in midweek. Keinan became the Seasiders' seventh summer arrival – along with utility player Chris Basham, striker Marlon Harewood, French trio Ludovic Sylvestre, Elliot Grandin, Malaury Martin and defender Craig Cathcart – and goes straight into the squad for the Arsenal game.

In addition, Bournemouth have accepted an improved bid from Blackpool for striker Brett Pitman, who is now discussing personal terms with the Lancashire club. Holloway said of Pitman: "He epitomises us - we are a bunch of people who need to make a name for ourselves." And that’s what they’ll be aiming to do at the Emirates.

Lesotho Soccer: Mancini puts completed Man City squad into Premier League action vs Liverpool

Mancini puts completed Man City squad into Premier League action vs Liverpool
By Stuart Condie (CP)

LONDON — Roberto Mancini has finally assembled the squad he wants at Manchester City and will put it into Premier League action for the first time against Liverpool on Monday.

Former Inter Milan coach Mancini guided City to fifth place last season with the squad he inherited but says the signings of James Milner and Mario Balotelli over the past week will be his last in the summer transfer window.

With Chelsea at Wigan and Manchester United at Fulham (Setanta Sports Canada, 11 a.m. ET) after winning starts, City could give a league debut to both Milner and Balotelli against visiting Liverpool (TSN, 3 p.m. ET). With four more high-profile new signings in his squad, Mancini will have few excuses if City does not win its first home game of the season.

"The last thing he said to me was, 'Be ready for the next game'" Milner said. "And then he said, 'Be ready to win the Premier League.'

"That's my ultimate aim. That's what I want to do and why I'm here."

City was mostly undone last season by dropping points in the first half of the campaign, so a strong start this time is crucial. City was dominated last weekend by Tottenham, the team that edged it to fourth place and the final Champions League qualifying berth, but escaped with a 0-0 draw.

Liverpool almost beat Arsenal before a last-minute own-goal by goalkeeper Pepe Reina handed the Gunners a 1-1 draw, but midfielder Joe Cole will be suspended after a red card on his debut, giving Mancini an opportunity to select a more attacking lineup.

With home advantage and without the dangerous Cole to mark, Mancini is unlikely to play three defensive midfielders as he did last weekend. Yaya Toure and Nigel de Jong could continue in central midfield but Milner could replace Gareth Barry.

"He is a good young player, who can play in every position in the middle and out wide," Mancini said.

New signings Aleksander Kolarov and Jerome Boateng will miss the match after picking up injuries against Spurs. Leftback Kolarov damaged ankle ligaments and could be out for six weeks, while central defender Boateng is likely to be on the sidelines for two weeks because of a deep cut on the inside of his knee.

But Mancini's biggest test could be off the field, as he tries to keep all of his highly paid stars happy.

Craig Bellamy has already left on loan after being told he will not be in City's 25-man Premier League squad and other big names are reportedly disaffected.

Goalkeeper Shay Given has been linked with Arsenal and Fulham after Mancini selected Joe Hart to face Tottenham and again for a midweek Europa League match, while Roque Santa Cruz and Robinho are also being linked with other clubs.

Arsenal hosts Blackpool (TSN, 10 a.m. ET) in a fixture that looks a lot trickier after the unheralded newcomer won its Premier League debut 4-0 at Wigan.

Arsenal will still be favourite to win despite the absence of midfielder Samir Nasri following minor knee surgery, but Blackpool showed it can pass the ball as well as many topflight sides.

Also Saturday, Birmingham hosts Blackburn, Everton hosts Wolverhampton, Stoke hosts Tottenham, West Bromwich Albion hosts Sunderland, West Ham hosts Bolton and Wigan hosts Chelsea.

After routing West Brom 6-0 in its opening match, Chelsea heads to a team it beat 8-0 on the final day of last season.

United has a tougher match Sunday after a 3-0 opening win over Newcastle on Monday. Fulham drew its opener 0-0 at Bolton and beat United 3-0 in last season's corresponding fixture.

Newcastle hosts Aston Villa in Sunday's other game.

Early season League Championship co-leaders Millwall face Leeds at Elland Road in Saturday's biggest second-tier match, while Queens Park Rangers hosts Scunthorpe and Nottingham Forest is at Reading.

LESOTHO SOCCER: When will Rooney get his groove back?

By David Hirshey | Special to ESPN.com

There was a time when if you were told that Manchester United had won 3-0 as it did Monday against Newcastle United, your instinctive response would be "How many did Wayne Rooney score?" The hugely gifted Shrek look-alike was a goal-o-matic last season, notching 34 in all competitions, and would surely have added another dozen save for a debilitating ankle injury suffered in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich on March 31.

Did I mention he hasn't scored since? In soccer terms that is the equivalent of a geological age. By comparison, the gap between A-Rod's 599th and 600th home runs was a mere speed bump.

Oh, how Sir Alex must wish he hadn't acted so impetuously and rushed Rooney back for the second leg against Bayern when he was a hobbling shell of his former rampaging self.

Zero goals in South Africa, nada over the summer, and, against the lackluster Magpies, another big fat goose egg. It didn't matter that Newcastle played for a draw from the opening kickoff, chasing the home side's shadows. United created chance after chance. If scuffed point-blank shots counted as goals, Rooney would have had a hat trick. As it was, he was hauled off after 63 minutes of pressing to break his duck, making way for the Mexican wonder boy Javier Hernandez.

What's stopping the Rooney drought from becoming a full-blown crisis is that ManU has two old warhorses and one freshly coiffed, chain-smoking Bulgarian picking up the slack. Do any world-class athletes mask their decrepitude more gracefully than Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, whose combined age is roughly the same as Betty White's? Scholes controlled midfield, spraying passes down the flanks or through the seams. One sumptuous ball found Dimitar Berbatov in the box, and the suddenly energized Bulgarian lashed it into the net. Scholes ended the night with a seeing-eye cross that Giggs volleyed triumphantly into the far corner.

Scholes and Giggs' delight at their ability to shrug off the years like so many half-hearted tackles stood in direct contrast to the forlorn figure Rooney cut on the field. His once Velcro touch betrayed him on the cusp of halftime when he turned in the box to drill a close-range shot, only to see the ball skitter off his foot into Darren Fletcher's path for the Scottish midfielder to put away.

Credit Rooney with an assist and remind him that even Tiger lifted a trophy again. Oh wait.

$162 million can't buy Manchester City a single goal

Despite having almost all his nouveau riches on gaudy display, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini neglected to inform them that in the Prem, unlike say, in La Liga or Serie A, you don't have time to read a Prada catalogue when in possession of the ball. It's not called The Fastest (If No Longer The Best) League In The World for nothing.

Tottenham isn't the most turbo-charged team in the Prem, but Aaron Lennon's Mach 4 speed alone makes it dangerous in the open field. Time and again, City's slack-heeled defensive rookies Aleksandar Kolarov and Yaya Toure both seemed a yard or 3 off the pace, often tackling nothing but air. As for "The Other Spanish Attacker Named David," Silva saw slightly more of the ball than Robinho and Craig Bellamy, both of whom now reside in Mancini purgatory and remained rooted to the City bench.

Ever the cagey tactician, Mancini started three rugged ankle-shredders in midfield -- Yaya, Gareth Barry and Nigel "Karate Kid" de Jong -- to stanch the flow of the Spurs' attack, but it couldn't stop the home side from outshooting the monied arrivistes by 15 attempts to six. It was a display that led Tottenham's fast-talking manager, 'Arry Redknapp, to write off City's title hopes with 37 games still to play!

Only Joe Hart's acrobatic goalkeeping kept Tottenham from winning by three or four goals -- his reflex tip to deny Jermain Defoe's swiveling flick was the sickest of the bunch -- but unless City rachets up its game in the next few weeks, even England's New No. 1 won't be able to save Mancini's job.

Manchester United 3-0 Newcastle United - Paul Scholes stars as Berbatov, Fletcher & Giggs strike at Old Trafford

Scholes the star of the show again at Old Trafford...
By Gill Clark

Manchester United kicked off their Premier League campaign with a comfortable victory over newly-promoted Newcastle United at Old Trafford, courtesy of first-half goals by Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Fletcher before Ryan Giggs added a late third.


The Red Devils began the game with Berbatov partnering Wayne Rooney up front, with new signings Javier Hernandez and Chris Smalling on the bench and no room at all in the squad for former Magpie Michael Owen.

The visitors, meanwhile, started with a five-man midfield, a lone striker in the shape of Andy Carroll whilst also handing a Newcastle debut to new signing James Perch at right back.

Yet Newcastle began the game well and had the best chance of the opening exchanges on the 10 minute mark. A corner in from Joey Barton found Carroll, completely free having lost his marker, but the striker conspired to head wide from six yards.

It was to prove a costly miss for the visitors as after an indifferent start, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men slowly took control of the match and opening the scoring just after the half hour mark.

Antonio Valencia poached the ball from Jonas Guterriez and found Paul Scholes who slid a perfectly weighted ball into the box for Berbatov to smash low, back across goal and beat Steve Harper.

The goal was all the encouragement the home side needed and less than 10 minutes later they doubled their lead thanks to Darren Fletcher.

Some good work down the left found Nani sliding in Patrice Evra who drove a ball across the box; Rooney managed to get a touch but couldn’t control it however the ball fell perfectly to the Scot to slot home from close range.

LESOTHO SOCCER: Michael Carrick issues warning to Manchester United

Barclays Premier League
Venue: Old Trafford Date: Monday, 16 August Kick-off: 2000 BST
Coverage: BBC Sport website, BBC Radio 5 live, local radio and live on Sky Sports 1

Michael Carrick says Manchester United must avoid any unnecessary slip-ups as they kick off their Premier League campaign at newly promoted Newcastle.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side lost eight times last term as they were beaten to the title by Chelsea by a single point.

Chelsea began the defence of their crown with a crushing 6-0 defeat of West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

And as the Red Devils face Newcastle on Monday, Carrick warned: "There isn't much margin for error."

The midfielder added: "Last season was a bit of a freak in terms of how many games both us and Chelsea lost and how many points were dropped.

"Competition is pretty fierce again now.

"Teams who have finished around the Champions League places are looking to break through and you really have to start firing from the off."

Carrick expects Newcastle to provide a stern test, though, following their return to the top flight after just one season in the Championship.

"Newcastle will be flying," said Carrick, who hails from Wallsend in Tyne and Wear. "They are back in the Premier League and what better place to start than Old Trafford.

"They obviously want to get off to a good start and build up some momentum themselves.

"It is only two years ago that we played them in the first game at Old Trafford and drew. Hopefully it will be better this time."

Magpies boss Chris Hughton admits a trip to Old Trafford is not what he would have chosen for his side's first match back in the Premier League.

"It will be a massive challenge for us," he said. "But this is what we worked so hard for last season to get straight back up into this division.

"It's probably not the ideal choice. I think the ideal choice would have been to have a home game."

But Hughton is taking confidence in Newcastle's visit to Old Trafford two seasons ago, when they drew 1-1.

"We certainly gave a very good account of ourselves so we're aware that everything's possible even though we're massive underdogs," he added.

LESOTHO SOCCER; Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal

Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal: Last minute Pepe Reina own goal gifts point to Gunners
Cole and Koscielny see red as points are shared...

A late own goal by Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina gifted Arsenal a point in their opening Premier League match of the new campaign at Anfield.

Despite debutant Joe Cole seeing red before the interval, the hosts took the lead at the start of the second-half thanks to a belter from striker David Ngog.

The strike looked to have given new Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson the perfect start, but the Gunners kept pushing and were rewarded with a last minute equaliser.

Hodgson named star striker Fernando Torres on the Liverpool bench, opting to start with Ngog upfront, with summer signing Cole making his Red's debut supporting the Frenchman. Milan Jovanovic also made his debut in midfield alongside wantaway Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano.

Following a summer of transfer speculation, Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas was not included in the matchday squad due to illness, while striker Robin van Persie began on the bench. New signings Marouane Chamakh and Laurent Koscielny made their bows for the Gunners and teenage midfield playmaker Jack Wilshere was also included in the starting line-up.

Both teams started the match in a positive manner and as early as the fifth minute Thomas Vermaelen had the first chance, testing Reina with a 30-yard free-kick that the Spanish goalkeeper punched to safety.

Liverpool’s first chance of the match arrived shortly after. A long ball from captain Steven Gerrard found Dirk Kuyt on the right wing. The Dutchman played the ball inside to the overlapping Glen Johnson, who’s cross was just behind an unmarked Cole in the six-yard box.

Five minutes later a passing move from Arsenal down their left wing resulted in Samir Nasri playing a neat through ball to Emmanuel Eboue, but the backtracking Gerrard made a crucial last minute challenge to deny the Ivorian midfielder.

The two were involved again a minute later when a tackle by Gerrard on Eboue gave Arsenal a free-kick on the edge of the Liverpool area. However, Nasri’s free-kick flew straight into the wall and Vermaelen’s follow-up effort was well wide of Reina’s goal.

Arsenal were beginning to dominate the match with their passing football and just after the half hour mark another move saw Nasri find Gael Clichy, but the French full-back fired a swerving 25-yard shot just over the bar.

The home side were struggling to create any clear opportunities but Jovanovic had a great chance to score on his debut. A long ball from the Liverpool defence was chased down by the Serbian midfielder, but he fired his shot wide from inside the penalty area.

Liverpool finished the half the stronger and in the final minute, a neat one two between Johnson and Kuyt gave the full-back a sight of goal only for his 20-yard left footed strike to be tipped over the bar by Manuel Almunia. From the resulting Gerrard corner, Ngog saw his header from six-yards cleared off the line by Clichy.

In the very last seconds of the half came the biggest moment of the match as Cole was sent off following a late challenge on Koscielny by the corner flag. Referee Martin Atkinson brandished a straight red card for Cole for the tackle, which saw the Arsenal defender leave the pitch on a stretcher.

ARSENE WENGER admits the time has come to deliver more trophies for the Arsenal fans - after fuelling their hunger for success.

The Frenchman turned the Gunners into a major force after his shock appointment in 1996 - winning three titles and four FA Cups.

Wenger also led Arsenal to the 2006 Champions League Final - but defeat by Barcelona in Paris that night signalled the start of a decline.

Arsenal haven't won a trophy for five years and the supporters are beginning to get restless.

Wenger - who yesterday signed a three-year extension to his contract - knows that drought has to end soon.

But he's confident a win at Anfield today in the league opener can set the Gunners up for a shot at the title.

He said: "I'm as motivated as ever - if not more.

"We haven't won anything for a few years and it's vital we get back to lifting trophies.

"I feel an even higher level of responsibility now. The club is in the top eight in Europe and expectations are high.

"You feel more pressure but it's more exciting as well."

The new deal will keep Wenger at the Emirates until 2014 and the 60-year-old looks set to finish his coaching career with the Gunners.

He said: "I can now give my best years to a club that has given me so much."

New Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is three years older than Wenger as he sets out on his Anfield adventure.

He's also under pressure to restore the Reds to greatness after a miserable last campaign under Rafa Benitez.

But Hodgson insists the job isn't any more stressful than his first assignment at Swedish club Halmstad.

He said: "I've been feeling pressure for the past 35 years. That is part of the job.

"You could say Halmstad and Liverpool can't be mentioned in the same breath but that's not what I thought when I was just 29.

"I felt a lot of pressure to get results for the team and I feel pressure now."

The target for Liverpool this term is to break back into the top four and Hodgson admits a title push is unrealistic.

He said: "It is pretty obvious we are a long way from where teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are."

Lesotho Soccer: Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson hopeful Fernando Torres can play in Premier League opener against Arsenal

New Reds boss says Spaniard could still feature...
By Matt Monaghan

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is set to lean on his medical staff to unleash star striker Fernando Torres for their Premier League opener against Arsenal.

Torres, 26, handed the Reds' support a boost yesterday as he declared he was set to spurn the advances of Manchester City and Chelsea. Despite committing to the club, the Spain international wasn't expected to feature in the immediate future after he was injured in the World Cup 2010 final.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Hodgson gave yet another boost to the fans after he stated Torres could line-up against the Gunners on August 15.

He said: "He's only been back a few days and needs to do work to make certain he recovers from his holiday of three weeks and injury he picked up towards the end of the World Cup.

"I am still hopeful, come Sunday week when we play the Arsenal it won't be out of the question to use him then. Even though I do realise the sports scientist people are probably going to tell me it'll be too early."

The former Fulham boss also confided that he was always confident his star player would remain at Anfield.

"I've got to say, ever since I took the job, [managing director] Christian Purslow was always confident Fernando would stay. He always told me 'there's nothing to worry about'," Hodgson said.

"It's nice now the speculation can end once and for all. Even better, Fernando has gone out and given an excellent interview yesterday where he's made it absolutely clear how committed he is."

One man who isn't expected to remain on Merseyside is Javier Mascherano. The Argentina skipper is understood to be eager to reunite with Rafael Benitez at Inter, and Hodgson admits the midfielder could move on.

He said: "I think that will be slightly more difficult if a big offer comes in for him and it's a club he wants to go to. That will be harder, but the good thing for me is, we've not had that offer.

"As a result, I can continue to work with him, deal with him as a Liverpool player and consider him as a Liverpool player.

"I just wait for the day, if the day comes, when an offer comes in and maybe if it was the offer that meets his valuation and he wants to go, I don't know if my powers of persuasion would be much good in that situation."
