Pressure on Rafa as Villa win at Anfield

The pressure is now certainly mounting on the shoulders of Rafa Benitez, who witnessed his side lose their second game in three at home to Aston Villa last night.

In a treble wrecking bet, Lucas put the away side ahead thanks to a headed own goal past Reina 10 minutes before half time. Anfield was then stunned as Curtis Davies headed in from an injury time corner to make it 2-0 in front of the Kop.

Liverpool mounted a kind of fightback in the second half as expected, and Fernando Torres hit the back of the net 18 minutes from time to ensure a nervous finale for Villa fans to endure, but they held firm, and Martin O'Neill's men recorded their first win at Anfield in 8 years.

It's now Liverpool's worst start in the Premier League, trailing the leaders Tottenham & Chelsea by 6 points already.

The topic forms the latest FL poll, should Rafa Benitez be sacked? Cast your vote on the top right of the page, should he go or should he be given more time?

Spurs back to the top after Hammers win

So, Tottenham have climbed back to the top of the table then with their victory over West Ham at Upton Park yesterday afternoon.

Jermaine Defoe & Aaron Lennon were the heroes for the Spurs after turning the game round following Carlton Cole's opener.

They lead on goal difference, after Chelsea moved level on 9 points with an away win at Fulham, where Drogba made me happy scoring first at 4/1 (had a fiver on that!), Nicolas Anelka netted the second to confirm the victory for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

Elsewhere, Everton are rooted to the foot of the table after they went down to Burnley by a single goal, Wade Elliott the hero for the side that beat Man Utd last week by the same scoreline.

Tonight, the final game of the weekend is Liverpool at home to Aston Villa, with the question which Liverpool side will turn up tonight?
