Tonight Jamie Carragher will look to move into second, behind Ian Callaghan, in Liverpool's all time appearance list for the club.
It will be Carragher's 666th appearance for a club when he takes his place at the heart of Liverpool's defense. He will be captaining the side in the absence of Steven Gerrard and will look to celebrate with a victory and all three points.
Carragher is moving past Liverpool legends Emlyn Hughes and Ray Clemence for sole possession of second spot but it is very unlikely Carragher can catch Ian Callaghan's record 857 appearances for the club. Carragher, who has one year renaming on his contract, will be looking to take up a coaching role at the club when he retires.
Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, still believes Carragher has a lot to offer,
“It is a great accolade for him to be the second in the table for most appearances as a Liverpool player. He has been here a while and hopefully he will be here for a lot longer." said the Liverpool manager.
“I am sure he has one or two miles left in him yet.”
Liverpool play Fulham tonight at Craven Cottage in an 8 o'clock kick off.
