 Expect a close game as both sides have only one league defeat between them this season. Blackburn have enjoyed an excellent run of form recently and have edged above the Reds in the table.
David Bentley (shin) and Aaron Mokoena (leg) are expected to return for Rovers despite picking up injuries in their midweek Carling Cup victory against Portsmouth. But Robbie Savage, Steven Reid and Jason Roberts are all still out.
Unbeaten Liverpool are hoping to rediscover the spirit which came close to them grabbing victory against Arsenal last weekend, with a win against an in-form Blackburn side.
Rafa Benitez is missing Fernando Torres, Dan Agger and Xabi Alonso who remain sidelined with injuries. But Fabio Aurelio, Alvaro Arbeloa and Javier Mascherano are expected to return to contention. And Harry Kewell is also likely to be drafted into the squad.
