Reds trio set for return
Xabi Alonso, Dirk Kuyt and Albert Riera are expected to return to Liverpool’s starting line-up for Sunday’s home Barclays Premier League clash with Chelsea.
All three started on the bench for the midweek 1-1 draw at Wigan – although both Kuyt and Riera came on during the match – as manager Rafael Benitez rested key players ahead of the Chelsea showdown.
