Brendan Rodgers will bring back his big names for the visit of Manchester United. Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Joe Allen and Martin Kelly were rested for the 5-3 Europa League win at Young Boys but will return as they go looking for their first Barclays Premier League victory of the season. Forwards Fabio Borini and Raheem Sterling, substitutes in Switzerland.

Manchester United winger Ashley Young will miss the trip to Anfield after being ruled out for a further two to three weeks with knee cartilage trouble. Wayne Rooney will also be absent due to a gashed thigh despite reports he was due to make an earlier-than-expected comeback. Darren Fletcher, who came on as a substitute in the Champions League win over Galatasaray in midweek having recovered from a chronic bowel condition, is not being considered for a return to the starting line-up with Sir Alex Ferguson instead pin-pointing Wednesday's Capital One Cup match with Newcastle United.
