Having moved up to seventh in the club's list of appearances in all competitions on Thursday, Jamie Carragher is set to move up one place for the number of League games played for the club to become our all-time #9, assuming he turns out against Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday.

This will be his 434th Premiership game for Liverpool - nearly seventy outings ahead of his nearest current challenger, skipper Steven Gerrard. He has bagged just four goals in these League matches.

Jamie signed on as a pro in September 1996, and is currently contracted with the club until 2011. He made his League bow as a substitute in our goalless home draw with West Ham United in January 1997, having remained on the bench on four previous occasions that season. He played in just one more League game during that campaign, when he netted against Aston Villa in his first start.

After twenty League outings in 1997/98, he established himself as a regular, missing just eighteen League fixtures in the next five seasons. However, his 2003/04 was affected by a broken leg at Blackburn Rovers in September, and he could only turn out 22 times in the League.

He was an ever-present in the Premiership for the first time in 2004/05, and has since missed just nine League matches, with Rafael Benítez rarely rotating him out of the team.

Carra's 435th League game will draw him level with legendary centre-back Alan Hansen in ninth place in the club's all-time League appearance ranking. Jocky signed from Partick Thistle for £100,000 in May 1977 and was a classy figure in the centre of our defence on 620 occasions in total, notching fourteen times and helping us to an amazing trophy haul including eight League titles, three European Cups, two FA Cups, three League Cups and four FA Charity Shields.

It will only take another six Premiership outings before the 32-year old Bootle lad can move up another place in this list, alongside Bruce Grobbelaar. However, he would then still be exactly 200 League games behind Ian Callaghan, who is likely to forever remain the Liverpool player who tops the appearance charts.
