Kirkland replaced Dudek at Middlesbrough on Saturday and the Liverpool boss is keen to extend his run in the side.
"I don't think I'm going to change - Chris will start," he said. "Dudek has played a lot of games and had to play two international games in the break and I thought that Chris was fresh and ready.
"It's a team thing and a squad thing and you don't win things with only one player and that includes the goalkeeper."
Kirkland or Dudek?
