Reina, Morientes back for Reds
Liverpool today restored goalkeeper Jose Reina and striker Fernando Morientes to their side to face fourth-placed Tottenham.
Reina was rested for the FA Cup win at Luton while Morientes had recovered from a knee injury which had seen him miss three games. Scott Carson and Djibril Cisse reverted to the bench.
Spurs made five changes from the side that lost in the cup at Leicester, with Stephen Kelly, Anthony Gardner, Aaron Lennon, Michael Brown and Grzegorz Rasiak all dropping out.
Returning after long-term injuries were Ledley King (groin) and Edgar Davids (ankle), with Teemu Tainio, Lee Young-Pyo and Mido – for his last game before joining up with Egypt for the African Nations Cup – all back in the side.
Liverpool: Reina, Finnan, Hyypia Carragher, Riise, Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, Kewell, Morientes, Crouch. Subs: Carson, Kromkamp, Cisse, Sinama Pongolle, Warnock.
Tottenham: Robinson, Stalteri, Dawson, King, Lee, Tainio, Jenas, Carrick, Davids, Mido, Keane. Subs: Cerny, Defoe, Lennon, Brown, Gardner.
Referee: D Gallagher (Oxfordshire)
