Liverpool are already without Jose Enrique, Daniel Agger, Lucas Leiva, Glen Johnson and possibly also Joe Allen and Mamadou Sakho, whilst Jon Flanagan is likely to be fit enough for a place in the squad.
Everton are looking at knocks & injuries to Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin, Antolin Alcaraz, Seamus Coleman, Ross Barkley and Steven Pienaar, while Bryan Oviedo is out with a broken leg.
This 222nd Merseyside derby will be on of the most hotly contested in memory, as both sides are vying for a most coveted Champions League place, but Liverpool are strong favourites with BitBet.com.
With both sides also suffering heavily with injuries and only Everton having made any moves in the transfer market, both Reds and Blues will be fielding far from full-strength sides, but home advantage may weigh in the Reds’ favour.
With both star strikers, Romelu Lukaku and Luis Suarez having had a fairly quiet few games in January, much could be decided on whether one – or both – put in a top performance for their side.
Liverpool Team: Mignolet, Cissokho, Skrtel, Toure, Flanagan, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez.
Nice for all Liverpool fans.
Always aiming for the lost glory.
