Reds call on big guns for Cup clash

Rafael Benitez will revert to a strong line-up for Liverpool’s Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Watford at Anfield, having used youngsters and reserves in the earlier rounds.

Striker Milan Baros is back after a lengthy hamstring injury, while captain Steven Gerrard, who would have been rested on Friday had the FA Cup tie at Burnley not been called off, will also play against Watford.
