Jamie Carragher is the bookies' favourite to be the first Liverpool player to foul Anfield old boy Fernando Torres on Sunday when they clash with bitter rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Bookmakers William Hill rate the no-nonsense Scouser at 6/1 to foul his former team-mate, who moved to Chelsea for £50 million on the final day of the transfer window earlier this week.
The Spanish striker is set to make his debut against his former club, while Carragher is set to return after three months out with a dislocated shoulder.
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: "Of course not one Liverpool player will wish Torres anything other than a successful career at Chelsea, nor will any of them wish to be found guilty of foul play against him.
"But it is inevitable that one or more of them will foul him, and we rate Jamie Carragher as the most likely to do so first."
Second on the list is Martin Skrtel at 7/1, while Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is 9/1.
The odds for the first Liverpool player to foul Torres are: Jamie Carragher 6/1; Martin Skrtel 7/1; Sotirios Kyrgiakos 7/1; Daniel Agger 8/1; Lucas 9/1; Steven Gerrard 9/1; Martin Kelly 10/1; Fabio Aurelio 11/1; Glen Johnson 11/1; Jay Spearing 11/1; Raul Meireles 11/1.
