Benitez said: "We will play a strong side against Watford. It is important to win all the games we play and this is a semi-final and we are at home. With this match on the Tuesday the players will also get a chance to rest before Saturday."

Steven Gerrard and Milan Baros are both expected to start against Watford and with Stephane Henchoz looking for a transfer either Sami Hyypia or Jamie Carragher will come in and partner Zak Whitbread at the heart of Liverpool's defence.

However, the Academy graduates will not be ignored. Neil Mellor, Stephen Warnock and Darren Potter could all feature tomorrow.
