Man City on alert for Suarez threat

BY AGENCIES

Manchester City midfielder James Milner says that his side will be facing one of the country’s outstanding players when they host Luis Suarez and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Thursday.

Uruguayan striker Suarez has already scored 19 league goals this term despite having been suspended until the end of September for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic last season.

His run of form has helped Liverpool go top with a run of four straight wins, in which they have scored 17 goals, while City, who could move above the Reds with a win, have scored 16 in a similar run of four victories.

As City look for a second title in three seasons, Milner feels that the visit of Liverpool, and the following home game against Crystal Palace, offer City a real opportunity to take charge in the title race.

“(Suarez) is having a pretty good season,” said the England midfielder.

“He’s a dangerous player. We have come up against dangerous players so far this season, but he will definitely be right up there, so we will need to keep him quiet.”

Swansea City will eye the visit of Fulham as an opportunity to arrest an eight-game winless run in the Barclays Premier League. That alarming dip in form has dropped Michael Laudrup's side to within three points of the relegation zone, having enjoyed an eight-point cushion in early December, when Fulham were 18th.
Rene Meulensteen's side have since climbed one place but the gap to Swansea is just two points and Fulham can go above their hosts for the first time since August with victory on Tuesday.
Away days have provided Fulham with little cheer this season, particularly since the 4-1 win at Crystal Palace in October. Fulham have played seven away matches in the top flight since that triumph, winning just one and conceding 22 goals in the process.
Swansea's recent home form will offer the visitors some cause for optimism, however, with Laudrup's men having lost their last three at the Liberty Stadium. The hosts may cite mitigating circumstances, though, having played Everton, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in that run.
November's meeting between the two had Swansea run out 2-1 winners, Jonjo Shelvey netting the winner in the last 10 minutes. Wilfried Bony was the Welsh club's hero in the FA Cup on Saturday as he came off the bench at half-time to score twice and secure a 2-1 triumph over Birmingham City. With six goals in his last six games, the Ivorian is likely to start against Fulham, but Laudrup has several injury concerns.

Shelvey (hamstring), Michu and Jose Canas (both ankle) are out, while midfielders Nathan Dyer (ankle) and Jonathan de Guzman (calf), as well as goalkeeper Michel Vorm (knee), could come into the reckoning.
The visitors, having made 11 changes in the 1-1 draw in the FA Cup against Sheffield United on Sunday, will be comparatively fresh, with Fernando Amorebieta (knee) and Matt Briggs (hernia) their only absentees.

Swansea City (from): Tremmel, Vorm, Zabret, Amat, Chico, Davies, Meade, Obeng, Rangel, Situ, Taylor, Tiendalli, Williams, Britton, Dyer, Pablo, Pozuelo, Richards, Routledge, Bony, Donnelly, Lamah, Lita, Vazquez.

Fulham (from): Etheridge, Stekelenburg, Stockdale, Hangeland, Hughes, Riether, Riise, Senderos, Boateng, Dejagah, Duff, Kacaniklic, Karagounis, Kasami, Parker, Richardson, Sidwell, Taarabt, Zverotic, Bent, Berbatov, Rodallega.

Everton welcome back midfielder James McCarthy after a one-match ban.
Gerard Deulofeu is out for at least six weeks with a hamstring injury, while Leighton Baines could make his comeback against Sunderland on Boxing Day.
When Swansea City made the lengthy trip home from Merseyside in September 1930, they will certainly have taken with them some painful memories of their first ever meeting with Everton - a crushing 5-1 defeat.
Back in South Wales a few months later those cruel lessons had clearly not been heeded, as again they conceded five times in succumbing to their new foes. Incredibly, 83 years later, the Swans are still seeking their first ever victory against the Toffees. In 17 attempts, five draws is the best Swansea have been able to secure, and despite their buoyant form since being promoted, they've yet to register even a single goal in Premier League meetings.
Their latest match-up may well be the most challenging so far for them, as Everton will arrive with just one league defeat against them this campaign, a record that only Bayern Munich and Roma can better in Europe's elite leagues.
It's a game which will again bring Roberto Martinez back to the club where he first cut his managerial teeth and, though he's been up against them before with Wigan, his presence always seems to stir up the locals.
It will only add to the intrigue as Everton continue their quest to keep pace with the top four - particularly so as they follow Sunday's game with two successive home matches.
They won't lack confidence either after their last two away days - there will be few sides this season who will travel to the Emirates and Old Trafford and come back with four points in the bank.
The Swans have only won two of their last 12 league and cup games and at the start of the weekend sit seven points above the bottom three and seven below the top six. With a fixture list which includes, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United in the next three weeks, ending their Everton hoodoo would be very timely.

Head-to-head
Swansea have failed to win any of their 17 league and cup games against Everton (D5, L12).
The Swans have failed to score in the four previous Premier League meetings between the sides (D1, L3).
Roberto Martinez has failed to win his four previous Premier League games against Swansea (D1, L3).

Swansea City
Swansea have lost just once in their last six Premier League games (W2, D3).
They have failed to win the last six top-flight matches they have played on a Sunday (D3, L3).
The Swans have had more possession than their opponents in all eight of their Premier League home games this season, but have won just 10 points from a possible 24 (W2 D4 L2) at the Liberty Stadium.
Michu has failed to score in his last seven Premier League appearances - his longest drought since joining Swansea.

Everton
Seamus Coleman's goal last weekend means Everton defenders have contributed seven Premier League goals this season - a division high, prior to this weekend.
The Toffees have lost just one of their 16 Premier League games this season. In the top five European leagues, only Bayern Munich and AS Roma have better records.
They have lost seven points from winning positions this season. Prior to this weekend, only Manchester City (eight) and Sunderland (11) had worse records.
They are one of three clubs yet to win a Premier League penalty this season, along with Newcastle and Cardiff.

Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra are, however, all expected to return for United after missing Rio Ferdinand's testimonial on Friday.Wigan are without captain Gary Caldwell but James McClean could make his debut.Another new signing, Thomas Rogne, is out with a back problem for Wigan, though Leon Barnett and Emmerson Boyce are expected to retain their places in Owen Coyle's side.

Team News:
Grant Holt will lead the line for his new club after dropping down a division from Norwich, with Marc Antoine-Fortune also in contention.
Rooney missed Rio Ferdinand's testimonial against Sevilla at Old Trafford on Friday, having suffered the injury during a behind-closed-doors match nine days ago.
But Roy Hodgson has included the striker in his squad for England's friendly against Scotland at Wembley on Wednesday.
Rooney publicly thanked Hodgson for his "faith and support" in a message on his Facebook account on Friday. "Can't wait to join up with the England squad and hopefully play in a competitive match, they always are against Scotland," Rooney wrote.
"Big thanks to Roy Hodgson for selecting me and showing his faith and support, appreciate it."
However Manchester United manager David Moyes told MUTV he expected the striker to be used sparingly by England.
"I had a long conversation with Roy about it last week," Moyes said.
"Wayne has had a shoulder injury. He has been sore with it, which has meant he has not been able to have any contact. He has trained a little bit with the reserves as a non-contact player, a floating player, so at least he got a little bit of football work.

"He trained with the first team on Saturday and he did a bit of extra work, so he is probably more likely to be ready for England than he will be for us. You've got to remember he has had no football practice.
"I explained all this and I would only expect Roy to play him for a short time."
Hodgson has already said that he believes Rooney is physically fit but it has now been more than a month since the striker joined up with United's senior squad since leaving the club's pre-season in Asia with a hamstring injury.
United insist that Rooney will not be sold this summer, having rejected two bids from Chelsea.

Martinez tips Jagielka to become ‘phenomenal’ Everton captain

Martinez tips Jagielka to become ‘phenomenal’ Everton captain

New Everton manager Roberto Martinez has tipped defender Phil Jagielka to become a 'phenomenal' captain for the Toffees.

The England international wore the armband several times in place of Phil Neville last season, and the newly appointed boss has confirmed he will keep the role.

Jagielka recently revealed there was a certain amount of 'uncertainty' among the squad following David Moyes' departure after 11 years in charge, but Martinez was quick to praise the centre-half.

Martinez told the club's official website: 'I’ve been a big admirer of Phil Jagielka and I do feel that now he is probably at the peak of his career in terms of the leadership he has achieved when representing England and the roles that he has had for the national team and for a few seasons now at Everton. 

'It's the right moment for him to take that role and, for me, it is representative of the standards of the standards of our football club on a daily basis.'

The 30-year-old has been a consistent performer for Everton and England in recent years, and Martinez believes he is the perfect man to lead the side as they move on from Moyes' tenure.

'I know that he is going to embrace that role and be a perfect fit for a role that is traditionally a great honour at the football club,' he added

'Phil Jagielka is going to be a phenomenal captain.'
