Jupp Heynckes's team are undefeated at home this season, but a dip in form has seen them fall three points off the pace and two behind their upcoming visitors.



Torres adapted seamlessly and scored 33 goals in his first season to surpass the tally set by Ruud van Nistelrooy to become the most prolific foreign debutant in English football. He maintained a hugely-impressive strike rate at Liverpool, but in 2010 suffered a dip in form (caiu o rendimento) as he struggled with injuries towards the end of the campaign.
