Where are you gettign that Van Persie isn't playing from? (Sky seemed to think he was when he got the card against Sheffield alright) but he isn't suspended and has been named in the squad

RVP is NOT suspended! The matchday programme for the Charlton game, Skysports, and liverpooltv have ALL got their facts wrong!

Good news for us, although I'd be happy with a draw today - no Fab doesnt bode well...
