Tevez hope for Liverpool

Manchester City remain hopeful that Carlos Tevez will be back in time to play in Sunday's clash with Liverpool.

The Argentine striker may now return from Buenos Aires on Firday, after being given as much time as he needs to spend with his new baby daughter Katie, who was born prematurely at the weekend.

A huge boost if true, not only for the for the Liverpool game, but also the FA Cup replay at Stoke next Wednesday.

The lack of pace and mobility in attack largely brought about with the absence of both Tevez and Craig Bellamy is a huge concern, but Tevez's return, coupled with the absence of Patrick Vieira will provide a far more attacking feel to the side.
