Liverpool v Wolves preview

Liverpool v Wolves preview

Published Sep. 23, 2011 9:15 a.m. ET

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has a decision to make over whether to start Steven Gerrard against Wolves after his captain ended a six-month injury lay-off with a 20-minute comeback in midweek. Midfielder Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel are both available again after serving one-match suspensions in the Carling Cup win over Brighton for their red cards last weekend. Skrtel is likely to replace Daniel Agger (broken rib) in central defence while Martin Kelly is expected to return at right-back with Glen Johnson (hamstring) still injured. Wolves skipper Roger Johnson and striker Steven Fletcher will return for the trip to Anfield. Johnson missed the midweek Carling Cup win over Millwall with a sore calf while Fletcher has recovered from a recent groin injury. Kevin Foley (ankle), Jody Craddock (hamstring), Ronald Zubar (groin) and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (knee) are still sidelined. Liverpool (from): Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique, Adam, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Downing, Suarez, Carroll, Doni, Flanagan, Coates, Robinson, Rodriguez, Spearing, Henderson, Carroll, Bellamy. Wolves (from): Hennessey, Stearman, Johnson, Berra, Elokobi, Kightly, Henry, O'Hara, Jarvis, Ward, Doyle, Fletcher, De Vries, Guedioura, Hunt, Hammill, Milijas, Vokes, Edwards.
