Martin Kelly, Steven Gerrard, Fabio Aurelio are all injured however Jonjo Shelvey might make the bench. Daniel Agger looks likely to start and King Kenny will also probably give Andy Carroll his first start for LFC.

Pepe Reina, Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Jamie Carragher, Jay Spearing, Lucas Leiva, Raul Meireles, Maxi Rodriguez, Dirk Kuyt, Andy Carroll

This competition being played on Thursday night has been a major factor in the poor league form this season. It would be better for the club to try and win the remaining 9 league games and build momentum for a real push to win the title next season rather than being sidetracked by the Europa League as Benitez was last season.
ur always suggesting the least likely start! andy carroll might, but probably wont start.. im guessing hell get in early in the second half.. agger just started training.. when asked if he or jonjo would feature in the game, he said that agger was closer.. so he definately wont start.. you have to start reading the interviews..
BBC says that carroll wil hit the bench ! Agger also wont be ready for start ! It means mostly the same team unless king kenny does a miracle ! I dont kno how we gona win without a sure shot striker !!! Hope we wil startin shootin n at target in 1st half!
i dont think carroll or agger start and i doubt shelvey will be on the bench. possible starting 11 is probably going to be
————Reina——————
Carra – Skrtl – Kyrgiakos – Johnson
——–Lucas – Poulsen————
—-Maxi – Meireles – Cole———
————-Kuyt——————
and i don’t think that line-up is capable of scoring at least 2 goals, but if we can get 1 by half time, i’m confident carroll can get us a 2nd when he is subbed in.
Believe you me friends, this is going to be extremely tough. It will have to take a magical performance to go through!
as much as i believe that we can turn around the game, Braga could also play super defensive, which can czuse an unexpected result
