LIVERPOOL v FULHAM

Liverpool will be without skipper Steven Gerrard when they host Fulham at Anfield on Saturday.

Gerrard was forced to miss England's friendly against Germany with a muscle tear and he is unlikely to be fit for the Reds' Champions League match against Marseille next week. Striker Robbie Keane is back though after missing midweek action with a shoulder knock, while Alvaro Arbeloa is back after a one-match ban.

The Cottagers have Dickson Etuhu in the squad after he recovered from a two-month lay off with a knee injury. This will be his first match since arriving from Sunderland in the summer. Diomansy Kamara is the only long-term injury.

LIVERPOOL (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio, Mascherano, Alonso, Lucas, Babel, Benayoun, Kuyt, Torres, Keane, Riera, Cavalieri, Hyypia, Plessis, Dossena.

FULHAM (from): Schwarzer, Pantsil, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Davies, Bullard, Murphy, Gera, Zamora, Johnson, Zuberbuhler, Nevland, Gray, Dempsey, Andreasen, Etuhu, Kallio, Baird, Seol, Stoor.
