Jamie Lawrence is prepared to use dastardly methods if it gives Bradford City a possible advantage against Liverpool tonight.

Lawrence planned to get in touch with best pal Emile Heskey before the game and joked: "I might try and kidnap him as well!

"He's my best mate and I would love to put one over him at Valley Parade.

"I speak to him near enough every week, sometimes twice or three times a week, but he's been a bit busy lately winning things!

"Liverpool are having a fantastic season and I think next year they will seriously challenging Manchester United to be champions.

"They are getting that winning mentality and since Emile's been there he has got that mentality as well.

"I hope he starts but you never know with the squad they have got.

"It can't be bad when you can put Michael Owen on the bench. Different to ours where you've got a lot of kids sat there.

"It just shows the incredible depth of the Liverpool team. But there are still a lot of special memories from beating them last season and with a big crowd behind us, it would be nice to do them again.

"Even though we are down now there is definitely something to play for."

Lawrence could be back on the bench with Gareth Whalley fit again after missing Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Everton with a stomach bug.

For Lawrence, Goodison Park was only his third start since Christmas in a season hampered by injuries.

He added: "Since being out I had only played one reserve team game in Manchester and then for Jamaica against Honduras in a World Cup qualifier.

"I didn't get back home until Friday morning and then after training, we were straight off to Merseyside for the game.

"But I managed to get my head round it and it felt good just to be playing again. It's my job and that's what I love doing. It's frustrating to be stuck on the sidelines for so long because you are injured. And it was worse as the team was struggling and I could do nothing about it."
