Gerrard back for Reds

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will be restored to the starting line-up as manager Rafael Benitez makes five expected changes for the visit of Fulham to Anfield today.

Having used a number of youngsters and fringe players for the inconsequential 3-2 Champions League defeat to Galatasaray in Istanbul in midweek, Benitez will revert to his strongest line-up.
