GRAEME SOUNESS is in line for a shock return to punditry this weekend.
The former Liverpool legend, 70, left Sky Sports last year after working with the broadcaster for 15 years.

And now he is set to return to viewers screens with ITV.
The former midfielder will be offering his insights on Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
He will be in familiar company alongside Roy Keane, with the two formerly forming a fearsome duo for Sky Sports.
The two memorably clashed at the 2022 Qatar World Cup over Argentina’s 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening group stage game, which was also broadcast by ITV.
The two clashed over whether a penalty should have been awarded in the match with Souness saying it was “fact” and not a matter of “opinion” as to whether the pen should have been given.
An angry Keane replied: “Well I’m here to give my opinion – that’s not a penalty.”
The stakes will no doubt be raised with Keane ostensibly representing Manchester United and Souness representing Liverpool.
Souness has never formally retired from punditry and declared himself “still very much open for business” after he left Sky.

He most recently appeared on viewers’ screens for England‘s clash with Scotland at Hampden last year, which England won 1-0.
The fixture was played to mark the 150th anniversary of the first international fixture.
Ian Wright will also be part of the lineup, with Mark Pougatch presenting the action.
