Martin Kelly is expected to replace Glen Johnson on the starting line up, while veteran defender, Jamie Carragher should hold the centre back role along with Matin Skrtel. Craig Bellamy is expected to start as Kenny Dalglish will be expected to make some changes in the midfield in the absence of their team captain.
