Jamie Carragher 6/1 to foul Spaniard first:
YOU BET THEY’LL BE LINING UP TO FOUL TORRES!!

WITH Fernando Torres set to make his Chelsea debut against his former team-mates at Liverpool this weekend, William Hill have opened a book on which of those team-mates will be the first to foul him. ‘Of course not one Liverpool player will wish Torres anything other than a successful career at Chelsea, nor will any of them wish to be found guilty of foul play against him – but it is inevitable that one or more of them will foul him, and we rate Jamie Crragher as the most likely to do so first’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
