00:00...campaigned during the week. Now Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers return to the home front.
00:05Robbie Fowler's reinstatement today means the home fans will see him in partnership with Stan Collymore for the first time at outfield.
00:12Fowler replaces Michael Thomas. Otherwise, it's the side that triumphed in faraway Vladekamp-Caus on Tuesday.
00:19Ian Rush and John Scales are still injured.
00:21It's a young team, eight of them 25 or under, and it's an English team.
00:25Phil Babb of Ireland is the only outsider.
00:29There's another adopted Irishman on the bench today.
00:31Jason McAteer had a straight choice to make last week between his boyhood idol, Kenny Dalglish, and his boyhood favourites, Liverpool.
00:39He chose Liverpool.
00:41He would probably have been in the Blackburn team today if he'd signed for them.
00:44As it is, Jeff Kenner has been pressed into midfield service after only half a week's training because Mark Atkins is suspended.
00:52It's Kenner's first game since the Charity Shield.
00:54He's got a premiership now. This weekend we'll see nigh on a sixth of the league's season completed.
01:01The top of the table already taking shape and Blackburn Rovers nowhere to be seen.
01:06David Batty, who had a similar hangover after the Leeds United Championship season.
01:14Stan Collibor.
01:15It's a little strong before Steve Parkers.
01:17The last time the championship was settled over 38 games five years ago.
01:23The title winners, Arsenal, were beaten just once.
01:26Blackburn have already lost three league matches.
01:28Spring is having another fling on Merseyside today.
01:38Warm and dry on the weather front.
01:40Parkers.
01:50Parkers.
01:52Got away from Burke.
01:54We're at the challenge.
01:56For Kenner.
01:57And a dollar from Pearce.
01:58What a run.
01:58Fowler!
01:59Barnes.
02:08Wright arriving.
02:09Hanging by Pearce.
02:10Rednapp!
02:11He's planted off Merseau.
02:12It'll be a quarter kick.
02:15JB Rednapp can strike them much better than that.
02:19Came to him in at awkward height.
02:20Didn't really get hold of it.
02:23He's got another chance here.
02:24Got hold of that or Wright.
02:28Screamer!
02:29A goal for Liverpool in 12 minutes.
02:38A thunderbolt from the right foot of JB Rednapp.
02:43Well, he scored a beauty in Russia last week.
02:47And that was enough to win the game for Liverpool.
02:51And having just rather scuffed an effort a few moments earlier,
02:55he hit a nolla with power and bend to put the team in front.
02:59And one.
03:00Very awkward.
03:01Here's Fowler.
03:03Money Collymore up with him.
03:05This is Scott Collymore.
03:11He's couldn't quite get it under control.
03:12Matt Maneman.
03:18Jones.
03:20Went by Pearce.
03:21He saw that one coming.
03:33He got himself in front of the defender.
03:36And that was the end of the story.
03:38He does have a real eye for goal.
03:43An uncommon eye-cook for goal for a 20-year-old Robbie Fowler.
03:46And having chalked up his half-century for Liverpool at Tottenham last month,
03:54he's taken guard and started on another 50.
03:57But the important thing was how Fowler stole a yard on Berg to get there.
04:02Made it his.
04:05Collymore having a short tuck, but he is a very strong man.
04:09Matt Maneman.
04:14Oh my God.
04:15Hartness.
04:23Matt Maneman allowed to turn.
04:26Fowler.
04:28Collymore.
04:30Oh!
04:30Well, he did it on his Anfield debut.
04:35And he's done it again in his second game for Liverpool here.
04:38A brilliant goal from Stam Collymore.
04:43And Liverpool are flying here.
04:48It's his left foot again.
04:53That's not a bad weak foot, is it?
04:56We knew exactly what he was doing.
05:00And he's done it.
05:02Rift-taking stuff.
05:09Yellow cut.
05:15Tight corner that Liverpool passed their way out of a moment or so ago.
05:18It's brought them this far.
05:19McLaneman trying to latch on to Fowler's return pass and winning a corner kick.
05:27Miss Wright.
05:28Tucked by Berg.
05:30I think Berg's already been shown a yellow card.
05:34And his afternoon is going to come to an end here.
05:36Oh, and Berg didn't seem to go through with the challenge, did he?
05:46Oh!
05:46Oh!

06:12Tim Sherwood's name has been appearing in the transfer gossip columns this week.
06:26One or two jeers, one or two home fans that he would park for the skipper last weekend.
06:32Amazing really, a championship captain, PFA award nominee last year.
06:42Hendry, played by Ruddock, he is Sherwood again, blocked by Ruddock, make-all!
06:50Goal kick, despite the appeals for the corner.
06:55Throughout his young life, Jason McIntyre has dreamt of a day when he might put on a Liverpool shirt and run out at Anfield.
07:03And now, the dream comes through for the lifelong fan.
07:06Byron Burry, promising four years with Bolton.
07:14They'll replace John Barnes.
07:18Michael Thomas, the other substitute, is coming on too.
07:23In place of Jamie Redknapp.
07:26It's here.
07:28McManaman.
07:29McManaman.
07:36McManaman.
07:39He has just managed to get a foot on the ball.
07:46Liverpool have been in exhibition mode for some time now.
07:49Shearwood.
08:01Shearer.
08:05Right-feeding Newell to it at the near post.
08:07And Blackburn have a quarter kick.
08:10Blackburn forward.
08:11Another huge step in the right direction for Liverpool.
08:16Another big stumble for Blackburn Rovers there.
08:18Season eight games old and they've been beaten six times already.
08:23At Anfield, Liverpool have played three, won three.
08:27One in style today.
