Robbie Fowler returns to Liverpool's squad for the Merseyside derby clash with Everton after being cup-tied for the midweek FA Cup quarter-final battering of Birmingham City.
Fowler scored six Merseyside derby goals in his previous spell at the club, and will be desperate to start the match against the Toffees having started on the bench last weekend at Newcastle United.
Liverpool had Mohamed Sissoko and John Arne Riise both back from injury at Birmingham, while Djimi Traore is struggling with a thigh problem.
Duncan Ferguson is available for Everton after completing a seven-match suspension, but manager David Moyes is unlikely to change his front partnership of James Beattie and James McFadden.
Portuguese full-back Nuno Valente missed last weekend's 4-1 win over Aston Villa with a thigh injury and could return, although Gary Naysmith did well on his comeback from injury.
Goalkeeper Sander Westerveld has gone back to Portsmouth after his short-term loan, while Nigel Martyn is out for the season after a scan on his injured ankle revealed a hairline fracture.
Midfielder Mikel Arteta has been a doubt all week with a jarred nerve in his back.
Liverpool squad: Reina, Finnan, Kromkamp, Carragher, Agger, Hyypia, Warnock, Riise, Traore, Garcia, Gerrard, Alonso, Hamann, Sissoko, Kewell, Fowler, Morientes, Crouch, Cisse, Dudek.
Everton squad: Wright, Hibbert, Weir, Stubbs, Yobo, Valente, Naysmith, Osman, Cahill, Neville, Arteta, Carsley, Davies, McFadden, Beattie, Ferguson, Kilbane, Van der Meyde, Turner.
