Abel Xavier looks likely to start at left-back due to Jamie Carragher's suspension. John Arne Riise will probably play in front of him on the left-hand side of midfield.
Liverpool duo Nick Barmby and Gregory Vignal are close to a return after coming through a behind closed doors game yesterday. The game against Ipswich may be too soon for Barmby and Vignal will definitely not figure, he's approximately two weeks away from a first-team return.
Jerzy Dudek is suffering from a groin strain but the pain is lifting daily - he should be ok.
Vegard Heggem is hoping for a place in the squad, so too is Richie Partridge. The reserve winger has been in numerous first-team squads this season but unfortunately he is usually the 6th or 7th sub i.e. just missing out.
Czech midfielder Patrik Berger is definitely out.
