Prem Preview (Middlesbrough vs Liverpool)

Boro have one of the league's best strike force, having signed "the Yak" Yakubu from Portsmouth this summer. Securing European football on the last day of the season against Man City was also a big highlight.

Liverpool are under going a revolution under Benetiz, who has endeared himself to the anfield faithful after a 3-3 Champions League triumph over the fancied AC Milan. This is a fixture that Liverpool have struggled in recently, but expect the European Champions to be at their best after a series of impressive new signings including Peter Crouch from Southampton.

My Tip: Middlesbrough 1 Liverpool 2 (Boro don't usually lose at home, bu expect Rafa to have his troops fired up as he will be keen to close the massive gap last season between themselves and Chelsea)
