Reds ace pushing for start

Paul Konchesky says his first impressions of Liverpool are good and the defender is expected to make his debut on Sunday.
The former Fulham and West Ham man was Roy Hodgson's last signing before the summer window closed and he says he is excited about the challenges ahead.
Konchesky says his move to Anfield as a "last chance to play at the highest level", with the 29-year-old making his bow in Jamie Carragher's testimonial at the weekend.
The left-back is anticipating a "very high standard" at Anfield and, with the internationals due to return later this week, the England international looking foward to working with the full squad.
Konchesky told the Liverpool Echo: "Knowing the manager was a big factor but Liverpool being a big club was a massive factor. You want to play at the highest level and that's what Liverpool is. I'm very excited and I'm looking forward to getting a new lease of life."
He added: "I can't wait to pull on a Liverpool shirt in the Premier League, it is a massive club and it is a big step for me.
"I've had three or four days' training and although there have not been a lot of players there it has been a good week and I am hopefully going to enjoy it soon."
