Lucas Leiva nears Liverpool landmark

Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva will make his 200th appearance for Liverpool if he is included in the side that will take on West Bromwich Albion at Anfield tomorrow evening.

The 26-year-old has managed to rack up 199 outings for the Reds in all competitions since his arrival from Gremio in 2007.

When he achieves the feat, he will become the 103rd player to reach a double century of appearances for the Merseysiders.

Meanwhile, should Glen Johnson be named in the starting lineup, it will be his 100th appearance for the club.
