LIVERPOOL Reina Wisdom, Skrtel, Agger Johnson, Allen, Gerrard, Enrique Sterling, Suarez, Suso

SOUTHAMPTON Gazzaniga Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Shaw Schneiderlin, Davis Puncheon, Ramirez, Lallana  Lambert

Martin Kelly (knee) continues to miss out and will not return before February, while Fabio Borini (foot) appears to have been ruled out of action for the rest of 2012 too, but should return in January.

Nigel Adkins has just about a full squad to pick from for the trip to Anfield on Saturday, with just two players expected to miss out.

Richard Chaplow (thigh) is still expected to be missing for another week or so, while Frazer Richardson (hip) will also have to continue his spell on the sidelines this weekend.

However, the potential return of Daniel Fox (knee) represents some good news for Adkins, with the defender set to undergo a fitness test on Friday and expected to at least travel with the squad on Saturday.
