Anfield Road

It’s Liverpool’s last game without Luis Suarez as the Uruguayan star serves the last of his eight-match ban for that incident we’ll have to stop talking about sooner or later.

Kenny Dalglish has made a couple of changes from the side that despatched Manchester United from one cup on Saturday, bringing back one or two from the side that despatched Manchester City from another cup on Wednesday.

Johnson is in for Kelly, Bellamy and Kuyt are back too. The team is a mix of the two from the cups and Dalglish will expect it to perform like those sides did, certainly in terms of effort and commitment. What he won’t stand for is a repeat of how the players approached the game against Bolton and a performance that shows no respect to either the opponent or the shirt.

Andy Carroll starts and isn’t going anywhere despite rumours this transfer window. Steven Gerrard was taken off as a precaution on Saturday and is rested tonight too. There’s no repeat of Carra’s role midfield role and that’s partly because one player missing from recent matches has recovered from injury to fit into the starting line-up, Jay Spearing.

Tonight’s referee is from Wythenshawe in Manchester and has dished out 66 yellows, plus five reds, in his 20 matches this season.
