Home Soil Comforts Skrtel

Defender Martin Skrtel admits a degree of relief as Liverpool return to Anfield this weekend.

The Reds welcome Wolves on Saturday and Skrtel returns from a one-match ban after missing out on the club's 2-1 Carling Cup win at Brighton on Wednesday.

Slovakian Skrtel was red carded at Tottenham last week but he is looking forward to getting back to home soil after three away games on the trot.

"We always look forward to our home games because there is something special about playing at Anfield," Skrtel told the club's official website.

The 26-year-old, who scored Liverpool's second in a 3-1 win over Bolton last month, added: "It's a great feeling every time we win at home and hopefully we can do that on Saturday.

"The crowd is always behind us and it was special for me to score in our last home game against Bolton.

"We know Wolves have a few good players and they started the season well but if we play like we did against Bolton at Anfield we know we are more than capable of getting the win."
