Rodgers set to make changes

Dejan Lovren is likely to return in central defence at the expense of Kolo Toure but a bigger decision is whether to continue Steven Gerrard in the number 10 position or drop him back into a defensive role at the expense of Lucas Leiva.

Rodgers said striker Mario Balotelli is not quite fit so Rickie Lambert, who has scored in each of his last two matches, continues up front.

Provisional squad: Mignolet, Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno, Lucas, Allen, Henderson, Sterling, Gerrard, Lambert, Jones, Toure, Manquillo, Enrique, Coutinho, Can, Markovic.
