Cristian Montano (thigh) was recently ruled out for two months for the hosts, but former Everton youngster and star striker Jose Baxter is likely to start fresh from signing a new deal.
Under-fire Latics manager Paul Dickov can boast a near-fully fit squad after James Wesolowski returned to last week from serving a three-match ban.
Brendan Rodgers is expected to make a number of changes with a trip to Arsenal awaiting three days later, with the likes of Jonjo Shelvey, Jack Robinson and Suso likely to return to the starting line-up.
Jose Enrique (hamstring) is expected to be out for a further three weeks, while goalkeeper Pepe Reina (broken nose) has recently undergone surgery with a return date unspecified.

Oldham have picked up just one point from their previous eight League One games, losing seven, and find themselves in 19th place in the table.
- But the Latics beat Championship side Nottingham Forest 3-2 away from home in the third round of the FA Cup.
- Oldham have not advanced further in the FA Cup than the fourth round in 19 years - when they lost to Manchester United in the semi-final after a replay.
