Liverpool face what could be a season defining week as they bid to overturn a 1-0 goal deficit against Lille in Thursday's round of 16 Europa League second leg, then four days later go to Old Trafford in desperate need of points to stay in touch with the chase for the fourth Champions League spot. Rafa Benitez has come in for heavy criticism of late, as have the club's American owners, but at least the side's two key players, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, helped boost spirits with big performances in Monday's 4-1 home win over Portsmouth. Anfield is all set for another classic night of European action, with the crowd likely to play a crucial role. Lille shouldn't be totally overwhelmed with Champions League experience under their belts, and they will have seen Lyon come away from Merseyside with a win earlier in the year. The tie is however, likely to be settled by the performances of Torres and Gerrard. If that duo are on song, as against Pompey, the Reds should maintain their good record against Ligue 1 sides, and chance of silverware this season.
