Reina back for Reds

Jose Reina is expected to take over in goal from Scott Carson for Liverpool in Sunday’s FA Cup fourth-round trip to Portsmouth.

Carson, who played in the win over Luton in the last round and also featured in the Reds’ Carling Cup defeat at Crystal Palace, is expected to be on the bench.

Liverpool have only Boudewijn Zenden (knee) as a long-term injury victim, but Luis Garcia is not expected to be involved as he recovers from a knee problem.

Provisional squad: Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Warnock, Traore, Riise, Agger, Kromkamp, Kewell, Sissoko, Hamann, Alonso, Gerrard, Morientes, Cisse, Crouch, Sinama-Pongolle, Carson, Dudek.
