- Jose Enrique picked up a hamstring injury in the win over QPR at the weekend and is touch-and-go to make it back in time for this fixture. Glen Johnson could play at left back with Andre Wisdom coming in on the right if necessary.
- Stewart Downing seems to have hit some form and should keep his place on the right side of midfield, with Sterling on the opposite wing.
- Lucas should be back in the starting XI in place of Jordan Henderson, alongside Allen and Gerrard in central midfield.
- John O'Shea is almost certain to miss out after hobbling off during the loss to Tottenham at the weekend having earlier given his side a lead.
- That will probably mean Kilgallon playing at left-back and Bramble coming in to central defence, with Bardsley having barely played in recent weeks.
- Wes Brown and Lee Cattermole are both still out.
I love Suarez as a player, but hate him as a human being. There he scores again...
