Ahead of their biggest clash of the season so far, Liverpool are making late incursions in the transfer market as Brendan Rodgers is looking to bolster his squad as much as he can.

Also, Liverpool are poised to sign the highly rated young Sporting defender Tiago llori and are closing in on a £8 million deal for him. Further, talks have been going on to bring Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea, though West Brom are also interested for the Nigerian.
Over to the Premier League and potential title challengers Manchester City have bounced back from their shock defeat against Cardiff City with a convincing 2-0 victory at home against Hull City. Elsewhere, Newcastle United have earned their first league victory of the season, by beating Fulham 1-0. Stoke City and Norwich have also registered victories, while Roberto Martinez’ Everton drew their third consecutive match of the season.
