- Andre Wisdom is now fully fit and could take the place of makeshift full-back Stewart Downing, who fell asleep at the back post for Tottenham's opener in midweek.
- Elsewhere Sahin and Shelvey will both hope to start ahead of Henderson after the midfielder failed to take his chance against Spurs. However, there is also a welcome return from Lucas, who Rodgers has confirmed will be part of the squad.
- Suso and Assaidi are also both in competition to put pressure on Raheem Sterling, who could be rested having played a lot of first team action in the league this season.
- Nigel Adkins has no fresh injury concerns so is unlikely to make changes to a side that has picked up 8 points from a possible 12.
- One possible change could see veteran keeper Kelvin Davies return in place of Gazzaniga, who has made costly errors in recent matches.
- Teenager Luke Shaw should keep his place at left back though Danny Fox could return from a knee injury, while Richardson is likely to remain sidelined.
