The Manchester derby is set for Wembley

The Manchester derby is set for WembleyManchester City's Europa League commitments will determine whether their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United can be staged on Saturday, April 16. The FA are waiting for the outcome of City's second leg with Dynamo Kiev before announcing when they intend to stage the Wembley tie. Should City get past Kiev, the second leg of their quarter-final would be played on the Thursday before semi-final weekend, meaning the FA would have no alternative but to give the Sunday slot to the United game. For Liverpool to qualify for Europe, they must finish fifth in the Premier League, win the Europa League or lose the Europa final to a team that have qualified for the Champions League.  Manchester United v City FA Cup semi-final 'will cost millions' to policeProud City hero Richards takes a trip down memory lane towards WembleyRichards intent on revenge after firing City into semi-final against bitter rivalsFA CUP SEMI-FINAL DRAW: City drawn against rivals United

Fabio Aurelio Is Going To Miss A Month Of The Season Through Injury

Crocked: Aurelio hobbles off on SundayLiverpool defender Fabio Aurelio will be out of action for up to a month with the hamstring injury he sustained during Sunday's victory over Manchester United. The Brazilian limped off only 24 minutes into the 3-1 win at Anfield and the club confirmed he has suffered a tear to the muscle. Aurelio has been troubled by a series of niggling injuries this season and had only just returned from an adductor problem. Liverpool's head of sports medicine and sports science, Dr Peter Brukner, told the club's website: 'He's got a significant hamstring injury. Unfortunately his body lets him down. He always play well when he's fit. We've been managing him carefully because he's not been playing twice in a week, but this just came out of the blue. 'He had a minor adductor strain a few weeks before that. We rehabilitated him and he trained all week with no problems at all. 'He's obviously very down. It was a sad sight to see him walking off the pitch. He's frustrated because he was playing well on Sunday. He was looking forward to getting a run of games but it wasn't to be.' Dr Brukner also revealed central defender Daniel Agger is unlikely to recover from a knee injury in time for Thursday's Europa League clash with Braga. He said: 'Daniel had a nasty kick on a joint to the side of his knee. It's an unusual spot to get an injury. They take time and he's a bit of a slow healer. 'He's still not 100 per cent so we'll have to see if he's fit for the game this week. But it's more likely to be the following week.' Martin Kelly, who has a similar hamstring injury to Aurelio's, and Jonjo Shelvey (knee) will definitely miss the trip to Portugal.  Suarez sizzling against United was just the start as Luis vows: I'll get betterAldridge hails Suarez and says striker reminds him of Keegan and DalglishWatch all the Premier League goals every week on our brilliant video playerAll the latest Liverpool news, features and opinion  Explore more:People: Martin Kelly, Fabio Aurelio, Daniel Agger Places: Liverpool, Portugal

West Ham v Stoke Live Match

The Hammers secured a shock 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend to climb up from the bottom of the table. Goals from Scott Parker and Demba Ba had given West Ham a two goal lead by the halftime whistle and though Liverpool threatened a late comeback after reducing the deficit through Glen Johnson, Carlton Cole wrapped up the points with a third in the final minute of the game.


Manager Avram Grant was delighted with his side’s display and claimed that the quality of the team proves that they are at the wrong end of the league table. With both Wolves and West Brom facing difficult games, Grant will be keen to take advantage of any slipups by climbing out of the drop zone with another victory over Stoke this weekend.

John Terry Looks To Being In Champions League Final

John Terry insists Chelsea's bid to end their quest for European glory is alive and kicking. Out of the Barclays Premier League title race and both domestic cups, the Blues secured a much-needed victory over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Nicolas Anelka scored both goals as the 2-0 win put them firmly in the driving seat for a quarter-final spot ahead of the second leg at Stamford Bridge next month. Partners in crime: Nicolas Anelka celebrates with fellow Chelsea striker Fernando TorresChelsea skipper Terry, who demanded his side 'man up' on the eve of their clash in Denmark, was delighted with the response at the Parken Stadium - and he is confident they can now win the competition for the first time. He said: 'All over the pitch, we showed the passion and desire that'll be needed to win the competition. It's a good lift. 'Winning obviously does that and you can see the buzz in the dressing room. But it's important now that we continue this run again. This could be the start of it.'Terry was pleased with the way his side responded to being under the spotlight for their poor form.He added: 'There is always speculation that it's this person's or that person's fault which is complete nonsense. It is just important, and we spoke about this before the game, that we keep our unity. It feels like us against everyone and we need to keep it that way.'The talk from outside the club does put pressure on us. We're a big side with big players. Naturally there is pressure on every game, even when we've been winning because we have to continue that streak.Delight: Skipper John Terry applauds the Chelsea fans as he walks off in Denmark'Experience is a great advantage. We've been there, seen it, done it. It's important. If you look at last year, we showed our experience in a lot of big games in the run-in, likeaway to Manchester United and Liverpool and won. They proved very crucial in us doing the Double last year.'We lost experienced players in Michael Ballack, Deco and Juliano Belletti last year and when we go on abad run people pinpoint the age and still say we're an ageing side. Butwe're no different to United and the sides around us.'A goal in each half from France veteran Anelka relieved the pressure on Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, who is fighting for his job after a difficult second season. But he will be hoping Anelka's promising partnership up front with ?50million record signing Fernando Torres could reignite their trophy hunt. Goalkeeper Petr Cech said: 'Anelka took both of his chances well and that's what you're looking for when playing the ball in to a striker. 'I thought his understanding with Fernando was brilliant. They created a lot of chances through very good movement. We found them from midfield and from the back and I think that work paid off. Deadly: Anelka fires home the opening goal against FC Copenhagen in the 2-0 victoryBoss: Carlo Ancelotti enjoyed the win'(Torres) has been playing very well. It was not to be today, but I hope he's saved his goals for the next stage.' Cech shares Terry's confidence that Chelsea can now push on to reach the Champions League final at Wembley in May. He added: 'It could be. Who knows? We'll try to go again and try and win it. We took a first step today, but there's still a long way to go. Realistically, this is the only competition we can win and we'll give it a go.' Torres and Anelka started up front with Didier Drogba on the bench and, asked if his strikers were the best in Europe, Ancelotti said: 'Yes, I think so. We have fantastic strikers. I have to make a decision about the games, to put them in or not.'Didier played for two hours against Everton. Torres and Anelka were fresh and, together, they played well. Frank Lampard also had a good combination with Fernando.'We want to maintain their fitness, but rotation could do them good with the Barclays Premier League and the Champions League. They are accepting my decisions without problems and this is important. It's important to have them available.'Torres's performance was really good. There's a little bit of disappointment because he could have scored but it doesn't matter. His movement with Anelka was so good. He doesn't have to lose confidence because he didn't score. He's doing better game by game. He will score in the next game.' Ancelotti hails best strike force in Europe as Chelsea stop rot in DenmarkFC Copenhagen 0 Chelsea 2: Anelka hits double to save Carlo's baconCopenhagen v Chelsea Match Zone: Drogba left out but not in the coldAll the latest Chelsea news, features and opinion

Joe Cole Denies Rumours Of Move To Newcastle

Joe Cole has laughed off the speculation that Newcastle are interested in him by saying: "I want to be a success at Liverpool." Joe Cole: "It's not gone how I would have liked, but that's life. "Things like that happen and you've just got to push on through the difficult times. "I've had plenty of good times in my career and I've had my share of difficult times, I'll always come through. "I've enjoyed moving up here and living where I am. I haven't enjoyed the football because I haven't felt as though I have done myself justice or got myself right. "I have been frustrated with the injuries, but that's all going to change. "I'm fired up, still positive and still got enough energy – I want to be a success at Liverpool." Kenny Dalglish: "He knows himself it will take time to adjust after being out for a while injured. "It's not fair for us to judge him right now. He is enthusiastic and talented and we will try our best to get that out of him."

Marseille v Manchester United Live

The last time Sir Alex Ferguson prepared a Manchester United team to face Marseille at Stade Vélodrome, 12 years ago, his team were European champions, still carrying the aura of Treble winners.
Manchester United are without defender Rio Ferdinand and stalwart Ryan Giggs for the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie in Marseille.

Chris Smalling is set to partner Nemanja Vidic at the heart of defence.

Jonny Evans, Anderson and Michael Owen are also out so youngsters Joshua King and Ryan Tunnicliffe are in the squad.

But the meeting with Didier Deschamps' Marseille is the first of a schedule of games that will make or break the campaign. Ferguson's 'squeaky bum time' has come around a month earlier than its usual April outing.

After visiting Wigan in the Premier League this weekend, United travel to defending champions Chelsea and arch-rivals Liverpool before hosting either Arsenal or Leyton Orient in the FA Cup quarter-finals prior to a Champions League second leg on 15th March.

It is an arduous diary and Ferguson will know that, while his side have been criticised for a lack of panache this season, his squad's impressive resilience could prove an extremely valuable commodity.

Orient Super Sub Stuns Arsenal

Leyton Orient celebrated a heroic FA Cup draw - thanks to a goal from an overweight 'supersub' Arsene Wenger admitted he had never even heard of. Jonathan Tehoue has scored eight of his 10 goals for the O's this season after 85 minutes and he stepped off the bench at the Matchroom Stadium to level an enthralling fifth-round tie with an 89th-minute screamer. Afterwards Arsenal boss Wenger said he had 'never heard of him before' despite the fact that the Frenchman, 26, was once a club-mate of Arsenal's Alex Song at Bastia and remains a close personal friend of another Gunner, Emmanuel Eboue. Click here to read Matt Lawton's match report as Orient deny Arsenal a trip to Old Trafford Cup magic: Leyton Orient celebratetheir hard-earned draw with ArsenalOrient boss Russell Slade said it wasthe 'most exciting' moment of his managerial career and expressed his pride in a team who will now face Manchester United if they can get pastArsenal. But he reserved special praise for Tehoue. 'Forget about the Faircloughs of thisworld,' said Slade. 'Tehoue is the supersub.' Late show: Jonathan Tehoue (right) smashes home Orient's equaliserThe striker did not appear the least bit offended that he had not appeared on Wenger's radar before. 'It was back in 2003 that I was playing with Alex Song at Bastia,' said Tehoue. I was in the first team and he was in the reserves. Right now I am actually about four kilos overweight because I was out for four months with a hamstring problem.' Given the nod: Tomas Rosicky (centre) heads Arsenal in front Job well done! Orient boss Russell Slade (left) and chairman Hearn (right)Orient owner Barry Hearn said: 'I've waited for years to play against Manchester United but we have to beat Arsenal to do that.' Then he joked: 'If we equalise in the70th minute, on comes Fabregas and all of them, and we're in trouble. What Wenger has done is he's got a little bit complacent, the old Frenchman - and the other Frenchman put the boot in. 'That's why this bloke
