Daniel Agger will probably come into central defence to replace Sotirios Kyrgiakos after the 3-1 defeat at Blackburn, while left-back Paul Konchesky - who sustained a dead leg in Wednesday's match at Ewood Park - is coming under pressure from Fabio Aurelio.
Dirk Kuyt could be recalled having been a substitute at Ewood Park, which would mean Joe Cole or Maxi Rodriguez missing out.
Midfielder Raul Meireles, who missed the Blackburn game with an ankle injury, is fit again.
