February sees Liverpool take on Tottenham, Manchester United, Brighton and Cardiff all in the space of a few weeks in a crucial period
The Barclays Premier League season is well beyond its halfway mark and Liverpool have managed to keep themselves in the hunt for that illusive fourth place and the Champions League qualification that comes with it.
However, the month of February could prove to be the most important period for the Merseyside club as they will be battling on three fronts, including a cup final, which brings with it the chance of winning some long overdue silverware.
Liverpool are currently find themselves finding a rather green patch of form as they have sent the two Manchester clubs out of the cup competitions beating both United and City in the FA Cup and Carling Cup respectively.
However, January began on a rather sour note for the Reds as Bolton Wanderers gave the Liverpool squad a bit of a rude awakening by humiliating Kenny Dalglish’s side 3-1. The Liverpool manager was livid with the performance and threatened to axe any player from the squad if they did not improve their attitude.
The blow dryer treatment seemed to have worked as Liverpool outmatched City in a thrilling semi-final to mark their first appearance in the new Wembley stadium where they will be taking on Cardiff for the Carling Cup.
Barely a week later, Liverpool knocked bitter rivals, Manchester United right out of the FA Cup in another thrilling derby match with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 stealing the win for the home side moments before the final whistle.
However, Liverpool will be looking to maintain that form against a ruthless Tottenham Hotspur side that have given everyone a run for their money in the Premier League this season.
After that the Reds face Manchester United at Old Trafford in what has to be a must win game for the Merseyside club to keep their Champions League ambitions alive.
A 5th Round FA Cup match will see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brighton-c38685 visit Anfield before the crucial fixture against Cardiff.
Many http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 fans have already put down the 26th of February as the most important day of the month with the Carling Cup taking place on that day.
