Gerrard expected to return

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez looks set to ring the changes against Aston Villa tomorrow.

Club captain Steven Gerrard is expected to return to the team after being rested in midweek in the victory at West Ham.

Luis Garcia has been ruled out for the rest of the season after his appeal against a red card at Upton Park was rejected.

Provisional squad: Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, Kewell, Crouch, Fowler, Dudek, Cisse, Morientes, Traore, Warnock, Kromkamp, Agger.
