Dalglish - Reds need a hand

Kenny Dalglish accepts that someone is going to have to do Liverpool a favour now for them to win the Barclays Premier League crown.Newcastle, also at one time managed by Dalglish, will be trying to end Liverpool's dreams as well as boosting their own hopes of avoiding relegation when the club's meet in a vital match at Anfield on Sunday.By then United could be six points clear of second-placed Liverpool if they can beat Middlesbrough at lunchtime today in another match that has great importance to the top and bottom of the division.And Dalglish echoed the feelings of every Liverpool fan by saying: "All of a sudden you become a fan of whoever Manchester United are playing.""Unfortunately we're dependant on someone doing us a favour," said Dalglish, who was in charge when the Reds last won the league in 1990."If United rest a few players, as Fergie has suggested, ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg next week against Arsenal, that gives Middlesbrough a wee bit more encouragement. If Middlesbrough get a good result then it's going to beneficial to Liverpool, but only if they win against Newcastle."
