Anfield Road

Barclays Premier League – January 14 2012

Liverpool v Stoke City

THE REDS start today’s match against Stoke with a number of changes from the side that beat Manchester City 1-0 in midweek.

Daniel Agger is injured and missing from the squad; Andy Carroll has dropped to the bench.

Alongside Carroll on the bench are Craig Bellamy and Jonjo Shelvey, with three defenders – Martin Kelly, Jon Flanagan and Fabio Aurelio making up the remainder of the outfield subs.

In defence Dalglish looks to be going for a back five, with both Carragher and Coates brought into the starting line-up in Agger’s absence. It’s also possible that Carragher is playing further forward in the absence of Lucas and Spearing.

The midfield includes Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing, with an assumption that Steven Gerrard will play just behind the only recognised striker in the starting line-up, Dirk Kuyt.

Liverpool Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Carra, Coates, Enrique, Downing, Henderson, Adam, Gerrard, Kuyt.
