Coppell hoping for Barnsley-style success at ’Pool

READING manager Steve Coppell believes his side is capable of emulating Barnsley at Liverpool today.

The Royals are fighting to avoid relegation from the Barclays Premier League and have been boosted by back-to-back wins over Middlesbrough and Manchester City that lifted them out of the bottom three following eight straight losses.

Coppell took the players away for a four-day training camp in Spain to prepare for the Anfield clash and the squad watched Liverpool’s Champions League win over Inter Milan on TV.
