The clubs meet for the first time since the Heysel disaster in the quarter-final first leg at Anfield with Baros back in the fray, despite a three-match domestic ban following his crazy red card against Everton three weeks ago.

Fernando Morientes is cup-tied and four other strikers injured, so Benitez will turn to Baros to give Liverpool hope for the second leg in a week's time in Italy.
