http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 will take on Wigan Athletic on Saturday at Anfield in a match in which the host team will be desperate to claim all three points in order to lift themselves up the pecking order.
Both the teams possess a handful of players who can be deemed as match-winners and will be raring to prove themselves yet again in the fixture.
We will take a look at some of the players who might influence the proceedings with their skill and ability, shaping the game in their side’s favour.
Luis Suarez
The Uruguayan International will be the biggest star on the field. Time and again, he has come to the rescue of Liverpool in the ongoing campaign by scoring goals on consistent basis. He has already notched up 8 league scalps and has at times, single-handedly
tormented the opposition’s defences.
Suarez will be a difficult man to mark for the Latics rearguard. He possesses all the weapons up his sleeve; he can storm forward from the wings, outpace and evade the defenders with his dazzling runs and eye-catching dribbling, can test the goalkeeper with
long range efforts and is also strong in the aerial battle.
In order for Wigan to eke out a result from their Anfield visit, the solution is simple and yet difficult; take Suarez out of the equation. However, like some would say, it is easier said than done.
Suso
Liverpool are in desperate need of a partner for Suarez upfront. The young Spaniard can offer that role.
After breaking into the professional circuitry this term, the attack minded midfielder has brought a lot of energy to the team, serving as a good aide for Suarez upfront. Besides, he will also be crucial in creating opportunities from the right flank and
can produce a good delivery from set-pieces.
Martin Skrtel
The defender missed out on the crucial http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 game last week due to illness, but is set to return to action over the weekend. He is currently the linchpin of the Reds rearguard and is expected to make life difficult for the Wigan attackers. The Slovakian
footballer’s strong stature will allow him to dictate the aerial battles. Furthermore, he can pick up long passes for the attackers to trigger a counter attack and can also chip in with a goal from set-pieces.

The Latics shot-stopper is expected to have a busy evening. The 30-year old has been up to the mark so far this season. The visitors’ chances of causing an upset will heavily rest on his performance, as sure enough, he will be tested time and again by the
Liverpool forwards.
Arouna Kone
The Ivorian striker, who arrived at the DW Stadium from Levante this summer, could punish any lapse in concentration from the Liverpool defenders. He has already netted 4 league goals in 11 appearances and also provided 2 assists. The 29-year old likes to
take the shot whenever he sees the opening and it will come as a little surprise if he goes on to bag another scalp on Saturday.
