Chelsea v Liverpool – With the tie at 1-1 it’s all to play for, but Liverpool will know that in their last eight visits to Stamford Bridge they’ve yet to even score, let alone win! Click here for the latest odds!

Wigan midfielder Antonio Valencia is a summer transfer target for both Manchester United and Liverpool, according to his agent.

Diego Herrera told El Comercio newspaper: “It is impossible to stop the improvement in a player’s career when Manchester and Liverpool are in the middle.

“They have been following him for the past months. There are also two more teams interested.

“But he will not come cheap. Last week, (Wigan manager, Steve) Bruce commented £5million was not enough for the player.”

Bruce insists Valencia and Honduran international Wilson Palacios would be better off playing regular football at the JJB Stadium, rather than struggling to get a game elsewhere.

He told the Wigan Evening Post: “I think Wilson and Antonio are flattered by the interest.

“They are playing well to attract the interest of the big clubs, and my big fear is if the big clubs put money on the table, it would be hard to keep them. How can you deny the two kids such an opportunity?

“But what I hope for another year at least is they can stay here and keep learning their trade. If and when they do go, I hope they then go straight into a team rather than just being part of a squad.

“That is imperative for both – if they weren’t playing regularly I think they would get very frustrated.

“I don’t want them to go yet as they are still young, still learning their trade and can only get better. Being here together has helped them with the language situation, and enabled them to settle well.

“They are the talk of the Premier League at the moment – every manager I speak to is raving about them. Saturday was one of their quietest games, yet the Reading staff were saying what great players they were.

“What I would love is to keep them here for another year or two, although it will be difficult if the big clubs come knocking.”
