Notes

  • - David N'Gog makes his LFC debut
  • - Footnote: Benitez laughed off the abuse he received from Villa fans who perceived him as the villain in the on-off bid to sign midfielder Gareth Barry. He said: "I was watching the TV one day and it was said the most difficult accent is the Birmingham accent so I couldn’t understand anything they were saying to me!"
