The precocious playmaker, who has seen his fledgling Anfield career overshadowed by the breathtaking skills of compatriot Florent Sinama-Pongolle in recent weeks, will make his first start for Gerard Houllier's men since the Reds booked their place in this stage of the competition by seeing off Blackburn in a thrilling 4-3 win at Ewood Park.

"Anthony will be playing tonight. It's a good chance for him. He has done very well in the game's he's been involved in so far, revealed Anfield boss Gerard Houllier,

"I'm sure he will be encouraged by the impact Florent has had recently and be looking to impress too."
