Xabi Alonso should remain in the side after last week's Champions League game with Monaco, so Dietmar Hamann will have to be content with a place on the bench.
Djibril Cisse is likely to be the lone striker, with Luis Garcia playing just behind him and Milan Baros prepared to come off the bench to add more firepower if need be.
Team (from): Dudek, Josemi, Carragher, Hyypia, Henchoz, Riise, Garcia, Hamann, Gerrard, Alonso, Kewell, Cisse, Baros, Finnan, Warnock, Biscan, Kirkland, Diao, Traore.
