Unbeaten Liverpool welcome an unstable Marseilles team to Anfield for their Champions League group match on Wednesday night. The French side have lost three of their last 5 games and travel to England as the underdogs.
Jermaine Pennant is suspended after his red card against Porto in the first group match and Yossi Benayoun and Ryan Babel are competing to take his place. Benayoun may well start after recently finding his goalscoring boots and should play alongside Steven Gerrard who is fit after a recent car accident.
Boss Rafael Benitez has long-term injury problems concerning Harry Kewell, Daniel Agger and Xabi Alonso but reports no new injury worries.
Marseille are likely to have former Liverpool duo Djibril Cisse and Bolo Zenden in their side, and boss hopes to use the information these players have gleaned about their former club to orchestrate their downfall.
But it will be tough as playmaker Samir Nasri is out with a viral infection as they look to end their eight-year winless away streak in the Champions League.
