Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has said that the goal Andy Carroll scored in the FA Cup semi-final against Everton is alone worth more than £ 35 million.

Andy Carroll has been ridiculed in various quarters following his £ 35 million move to Liverpool last January. Since then, the England striker has struggled for both form and fitness, but he once again showed that he is close to getting back to his best by scoring the winner against Everton in the FA Cup semi-final at the new Wembley.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has said that he expects Liverpool to improve massively over the next few weeks, although he has said that he has not seen the club perform as poorly as they have been doing in recent weeks.

Liverpool will be without the services of captain Steven Gerrard for the match against Arsenal after the England midfielder was injured on international duty.

Steven Gerrard was one of the players injured in a match against Netherlands, which has certainly infuriated Kenny Dalglish given that it was a meaningless friendly for England.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has become the latest manager in the Premier league to come under intense pressure after his team lost 3-1 to struggling Bolton Wanderers.

Liverpool are coming into the match with a real opportunity to get ahead of Arsenal in the Premier league table because of the fact that Arsenal are up against Manchester United.

When Steven Gerrard netted direct from a free-kick against Manchester United on Saturday around 200 million Liverpool fans screamed in delight. Whilst it wasn't quite enough to win the game for us, it represented a successful return of a Kop hero after almost six months struggling on the sidelines.

Saturday was his first start in ages, and the fact that he came through all 90 minutes of such a physical encounter should boost Stevie G's confidence levels ahead of the Christmas run-in.
