The Reds will be facing Portsmouth today with a very short bench.

Liverpool midfielder Boudewijn Zenden is out after joining the injury list with medial knee ligament damage.

Daniel Agger or Jamie Carragher will be forced to move up from defence into midfield, while striker Craig Bellamy is missing because of a court case.

The Reds are aiming to make Portsmouth their fourth successive Premiership victims at Anfield, while Pompey travel aiming to end a four-match losing League run away from home.
