Few worries for Benitez

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has a near fully-fit squad to choose from as the Reds look to defend a 16-match unbeaten run in the 211th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park tomorrow.

Apart from defender Phillipp Degen, who has made only two appearances this season and is now out for several weeks with a broken metatarsal, Liverpool do not have any injury problems for the FA Cup fourth-round replay.

With Robbie Keane now gone, Liverpool could well field the same side that beat Chelsea on Sunday in the Premier League.

Provisional squad: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Hyypia, Aurelio, Dossena, Benayoun, Babel, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Alonso, Kuyt, Torres, Ngog, Riera, Cavalieri.
