LIVERPOOL
Reina Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique Gerrard, Henderson, Spearing Downing, Suarez, Maxi |
FULHAM
Schwarzer Hughes, Senderos, Hangeland, Riise Diarra, Murphy Duff, Dempsey, Dembele Pogrebnyak |
The Reds have no fresh injury concerns after their comfortable 3-0 win at Norwich City last time out. Luis Suarez is likely to continue after his stunning hat-trick, leaving Andy Carroll among the substitutes.
Charlie Adam remain Lucas Leiva long-term absentees with knee injuries respectively.
Meanwhile, Martin Jol may want to change things up a bit on his second trip to Merseyside in four days after his team lost 4-0 to Everton on Saturday, and former Liverpool man Danny Murphy should be back in the starting XI.
Stephen Kelly is pushing for a return to the side after a wrist injury, Steve Sidwell remains out with a groin injury and Bryan Ruiz (metatarsal) and Zdenek Grygera (knee) are out for the season.
