Torres puts Reds on hitlist

FERNANDO TORRES today lit the blue-touchpaper for Chelsea’s Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday by insisting he would have no qualms scoring against his former club.

This weekend’s game looks set to be Torres’s first for the champions following his record-breaking £50 million (€58m) move from Anfield on Monday night.

The 26-year-old has not asked to be left out to avoid risking the wrath of his former club’s fans, some of whom burned replica shirts bearing his name shortly before his switch to Stamford Bridge was sealed last night.
