Liverpool plays Fulham this weekend. Steven Gerrard, Jose Reina, Sami Hyypia and Steve Finnan are available again after being rested for the Champions League match in midweek.

Striker Peter Crouch has been troubled with a back problem and may have to settle for a place on the bench.

The Reds look to build on last Saturday's first League away win (0-4 at Wigan) and their biggest Premiership victory since last March, in Rafa Benitez' 150th match in charge. The Merseysiders lead the Premiership's home form table and are eager to extend the second longest unbeaten home to 25 games.
