Doni set for Liverpool debut five years after letting Man Utd hit SEVEN past him

Liverpool debut goalkeeper Alexandre Doni will be hoping for not a repeat of the last time he played first team football on English soil.

The man who has been entrusted with the task of filling Pepe Reina's gloves in the FA Cup semi-final was between the posts when Manchester United beat Roma 7-1 at Old Trafford in April 2007.

The Brazilian goalkeeper will play in Liverpool's next three games after the Anfield club decided to allow the 1pm Monday deadline set by the Football Association to pass without appealing the red card Reina received in Sunday's demoralising 2-0 defeat at Newcastle.
