Gerrard, Carragher and others all started at the same time in this game, and Qiu Ze naturally also started. Perhaps because of their stalemate with Real Madrid in midweek, the Liverpool players were not very excited about this game.
In the end, Liverpool drew with their opponents 0-0 away from home and got one point.
In this must-have round, Chelsea defeated Wolves 2-0 in an away game, while Manchester United lost 1-3 to Everton in an away game. It seems that they were locked in a stalemate with the Rossoneri in mid-week, which made Manchester United also lose.

Liverpool's opponent in this round is Blackburn. Liverpool will return to their home court to play. Aston Villa will challenge Hull City away from home. Obviously, both teams will focus their main efforts.
It’s the weekend’s final, so now the two lower-tier teams, Blackburn and Hull City, have a chance to score points.
In this game, Qiu Ze and Gerrard did not start. Fernando Torres did not need to find his form anymore. Marcus Berry started. Although Huntelaar has recovered more than half of his injury, he can join the team.
I have done simple training, but it still takes a certain amount of time to fully recover.
At the beginning of the game, Blackburn turned away and it was clear that they really came here to score points. They even wanted to take three points from Liverpool.
Although Liverpool did not field a full lineup, Liverpool's performance today was still good, and their strength was obviously better than Blackburn, so at the end of the first half of the game, Marcus Bay
After receiving a pass from Kuyt, they scored Blackburn's goal and led 1-0.
After the start of the second half, Blackburn launched a series of ferocious attacks and equalized the score in the tenth minute of the second half, which surprised the Liverpool fans.
In the following games, Blackburn became more and more courageous, and seemed to be about to score three points. However, in the 37th minute of the second half, Kuyt's kick from the world wavered away the hopes of Blackburn.
The fire was extinguished, and in the end Liverpool defeated Blackburn 2-1 at home and successfully scored three points.
This game was actually very thrilling. Liverpool almost capsized in the gutter. Qiu Ze, Gerrard and others got a rare rest in this game, and their main attention was on
Went to the next English League Cup final.
As Liverpool's opponent in the League Cup final, Aston Villa performed very well in this game. Their strength is indeed much higher than Hull City. Aston Villa easily defeated their opponent 2-0 in the away game and won the championship.
At three points.
Aston Villa is indeed very strong, especially their offensive trident in the frontcourt, Ashley Young, Agbonlahor and Carew. The striker composed of these three is very powerful in the Premier League.
This combination is even a combination that makes Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool envious.
Among them, Manchester United hopes to introduce Aston Villa's Ashley Young and Agbonlahor. Agbonlahor has attracted the attention of the traditional top four of the Premier League very early, and is the traditional top four of the Premier League.
Unfortunately, Agbonlahor was not willing to leave Aston Villa for the forward he introduced, so the traditional top four in the Premier League did not succeed.
The English League Cup final between Liverpool and Aston Villa will be played on Sunday this week, while some of this weekend's Premier League games will be played on Saturday and some on Sunday.
For example, Chelsea's game is on Saturday, while Manchester United's game against Arsenal is on Sunday.
Chelsea will face Manchester City at their home court in this game. Now they have the same points as Liverpool. Of course, they very much hope that one team can bite the score and wait for the opportunity to directly surpass Liverpool. Now Liverpool has won this game.
Yes, they must also win at their home court.
Carlos Ancelotti really attaches great importance to this game. They hope that the team can defeat Manchester City and continue to put pressure on Liverpool.
The wind direction was pretty good in the first half of the game, with Chelsea occupying the top spot. And at the end of the first half, Chelsea's Didier Drogba scored a goal to help Chelsea take the lead. Everyone thought Chelsea
The team will easily defeat Manchester City.
However, the situation in the second half of the game suddenly changed. At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City scored two games in a row and overtook the score. This made the Chelsea people very anxious. The Chelsea people immediately increased their offensive intensity. At this time, they were attacked by Manchester City again.
With the team's sneak attack, Manchester City scored two more games and led 4-1.
The Chelsea people were stunned. They were completely fooled by the Manchester City people. In the next game, Chelsea attacked crazily, hoping to save the defeat, but they only scored one goal. In the end, Chelsea lost 2 to 4 at home.
Defeated and was once again widened by Liverpool.
By this time, the Liverpool team was preparing for tomorrow's final. After learning that Chelsea lost to Manchester City, the Liverpool players were still very excited.
This season's English League Cup final will be played at Wembley Stadium, a neutral stadium.
On the day of the final, a lot of Liverpool fans and Aston Villa fans came to the scene to cheer for their respective teams. This was the final. Although it was a League Cup final, no matter how small the mosquitoes were, they
He's also a champion, isn't he?
Liverpool also attaches great importance to this championship. After all, they have reached this position. If they don't fight for it, they would really be sorry for themselves.
In this game, the Liverpool team will naturally go all out. Qiu Ze, Gerrard and others have all entered the starting lineup, launching a strong charge for the first championship this season.
Naturally, the Liverpool team played a 4231 formation in this game. The goalkeeper is Reina, and the four defenders are Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Joel Luka and Gareth Bale.
On the waist are Gerrard and Khedira.
Liverpool's trio on the forward line is Maxi Rodriguez, Qiu Ze and Arshavin, with Fernando Torres at the front.
Aston Villa's formation today is not 433, but 442. The goalkeeper is Friedel. The back four is Cuellar, Collins, Dunn and Wall.
Knock. In the backcourt are Ashley Young, Petrov, Milner and Downing, and up front are Agbonlahor and Heskey.
The Carew brothers did not start today, but sat on the bench. It seems that Aston Villa still has something to offer.
Soon the referee Webb blew the whistle to start the game, and Aston Villa kicked off first. Aston Villa launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, and seemed not to care about Liverpool at all.
This move caught Liverpool by surprise.
The football flew to the wing, and Ashley Young caught it. This guy's speed was pretty good, and his crosses from the wing were very sharp. At this time, as soon as he caught the ball, he accelerated down the ground and swung out of the way.
Len Johnson was halfway up, and he directly took off the ball and passed the ball.
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew directly to Agbonlahor in the middle. Agbonlahor had already prepared for this. He threw away Cholluka and directly exerted his strength, preparing to jump up and fight for the header.
.
Cioluka was really slow this time. Agbonlahor's speed and explosive power were very good. He suddenly fell forward and fell Cioluka. Cioluka was shocked. If this ball was
If the unmarked Agbonlahor were to hit him, Liverpool would be doomed.
Immediately, Cholluka stretched out his hands and grabbed Agbonlahor tightly. Agbonlahor suddenly kicked the ground and wanted to jump up high, but he felt a strong force coming from behind him, and he was stunned.
When I jumped up, my body lost its center of gravity and fell into the penalty area.
The Aston Villa fans immediately booed. Agbonlahor, who was lying in the penalty area, turned around and raised his hands at the referee, indicating that Liverpool center back Joel Luka had committed a foul.
The referee Weibo saw the ball very clearly. He was in the penalty area at the time. He saw Joel Luca dragging Agbonlahor down with both hands. Therefore, without any hesitation, he immediately blew the whistle.
The whistle pointed firmly at the penalty spot.
Then, Weber walked up to Joel Luca and showed him a yellow card. At this time, the Aston Villa players didn't care about this. They just wanted to get this point.
I'm excited about the ball.
The game only started three minutes ago, and Aston Villa got a penalty kick. Of course they were very excited. At this time, they were so excited that they didn't even pay attention to whether Joel Luca got a yellow card or a red card.
.
The Aston Villa fans who came from afar were also very excited. They got a penalty kick just after the game started. This was simply a dream start. Could this be a sign of something?
The Liverpool fans were at a loss, and even those who had just walked in didn't know what was going on? Aston Villa's opportunity came too soon, didn't it?
Qiu Ze and Liverpool captain Gerrard immediately went to the referee to complain. The game has just begun, how can you award a penalty kick? Qiu Ze and Gerrard were very anxious. On the sidelines, Liverpool's
Head coach Benitez is even more anxious.
Referee Weber did not hesitate and signaled the Liverpool players to quickly exit the penalty area. Aston Villa was about to take a penalty kick. Only then did the Liverpool players walk out of the penalty area in twos and threes reluctantly, leaving Aston Villa with no hesitation.
Villa's players took the penalty kick.
It was Aston Villa's midfielder Milner who walked towards the penalty spot. Milner was considered the core of Aston Villa's midfield attack. Milner walked towards the penalty spot, while Reina was complaining in his heart, damn,
I have been saving penalty kicks for the past two weeks.
Reina lowered his center of gravity and stared at the football in front of the penalty spot. Milner was very cunning. He started running quickly. When he came to the football, he suddenly paused and made a fake move.
The football hit the Liverpool goal.
Reina was shaken by Milner. He moved first. Milner pushed the ball in the opposite direction. Aston Villa took the lead just three minutes into the game.
