Liverpool Head to Wembley Off the Back of a 1-0 Loss to Fulham
Embattled, inconsistent, fatigued, distracted: heavy is the crown for ‘King’ Kenny Dalglish. Liverpool have only won three matches in their last thirteen English Premier League outings.

Video: Bicycle Kick in Brazil Reveals Rivaldo 2.0
