LIVERPOOL UNITED KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 20: (FILE PHOTO) A general view at Anfield stadium before the Barclays Premiership match between Liverpool and Newcastle United at Anfield on September 20 2006 in Liverpool England. The owners of the Boston Red Sox baseball team New England Sports Ventures are purchasing the Liverpool Football Club for an estimated £300m (USD $475m) after the Liverpool board accepted the proposal following weeks of negotiation. The current owners of Liverpool FC are believed to be trying to block the sale claiming the deal vastly undervalues the club. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)

Kickoff from Anfield at 3:00PM BST/10:00AM EST

Included in the many who are hopeful that Liverpool are in the process of moving in a more positive, successful direction is Sami Hyypia, who returns to Anfield today as the manager of Bayer Leverkusen. "A new manager has come in and he did a good job at Swansea. Hopefully he can do a good job at Liverpool as well. There is a lot of tradition and a lot of success at this club, so I am just waiting for the moment Liverpool get back to where they have been in the past." Today doesn't play a huge part in the club returning to former glories, but it'll be nice to have a man who was an integral part of that tradition and success back for the afternoon.
