Reserve action for Murphy

The Liverpool midfielder has been out of the first team for the last three games as Gerard Houllier looks for a more creative style, although his recent performances for the second string may see him return to the first team squad for Saturday's game with Leicester.

The game kicks off at 7.00pm.

Team: Patrice Luzi, Jon Otsemobor, Zak Whitbread, Carl Medjani, Djimi Traore, Salif Diao, John Welsh, Danny Murphy, Florent Sinana-Pongolle, Bruno Cheyrou, Anthony Le Tallec.
Subs (from): Richie Partridge, Paul Harrison, Darren Potter, Michael Foley, Robbie Foy.
