If Skrtel completes the 90 minutes against Aston Villa tomorrow, he will be one of only two outfield players to have played every minute of every league game in 2010/11 (Everton's Leighton Baines is the other). It's a remarkable feat and Kenny Dalglish has paid tribute to the defender.

"It's a fantastic achievement but we have to wait and see if he's playing on Sunday or not! No, I wouldn't like to spoil that perfect record," said the boss.

"He's been fantastic this year and really grown in stature. He's been a real asset for us.

"He gets credit from the people who really matter - the people here. He wouldn't have played every game if not."
