Voronin to start against Besiktas

RAFAEL BENITEZ admits he is grappling with a striking conundrum ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Champions’ League group meeting with Besiktas.

Defeat for Liverpool at Anfield will see last season’s beaten finalists exit the competition and heap huge pressure on Benitez, whose Premier League title challenge is already faltering after a disappointing, if unbeaten, start to the domestic season.

The Spaniard kept his cards close to his chest when asked if he planned to rotate again for the visit of the Turks, but it is expected that Andriy Voronin, who was not involved at Ewood Park after his wife gave birth early on Saturday, will return to the starting line-up.
