Hull City
Captain: Jamie Carragher
Many thought the 'Tevez Saga' had been settled in court, but it runs on in a different guise at Old Trafford, as Manchester United contemplate the permanent signing of the striker.
But in seizing the opportunity to sign an explosive forward and further antagonise his verbal sparring partner, Benitez looks to have found the perfect blend.
The apparent reconciliation of George Gillett and Tom Hicks has been cited as a potential factor in Benitez's bullish approach to the summer transfer market.
Tevez has been left in limbo this season, with his loan deal at the English champions expiring at the end of the current campaign.
The player - or his representatives, if you prefer - have made no secret of the 25-year-old's frustration with the ongoing lack of clarity with regards to his footballing future.
But one potential stumbling block, beyond the conspicuous amount of money which would be demanded for the Argentine, is the fans' factor: as Tevez is often at pains to point out, he loves the United fans, and vice versa.
