Fowler back in contention

Robbie Fowler will find himself back in the Liverpool squad for the away game at Aston Villa on Sunday, having failed to even make the bench for the last two games against Manchester United and Barcelona.

With Peter Crouch now out until the beginning of next month as he recovers from an operation to repair his broken nose, boss Rafael Benitez has little option but to recall Fowler, who many believe will not have his contract renewed in the summer.
