Riera back for Reds

Spanish winger Albert Riera will return to the Liverpool squad at Manchester United having been suspended for the midweek victory over Real Madrid.

But midfielder Yossi Benayoun is still out with a hamstring injury, as Liverpool try to give boss Rafael Benitez his 100th Premier League win as Anfield boss.

Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard were both withdrawn in the final stages of the triumph over Real, to protect them for the Old Trafford clash. Daniel Agger is unlikely to have recovered from his back injury.

Provisional squad: Reina, Aurelio, Skrtel, Carragher, Hyypia, Aurelio, Dossena, Babel, Mascherano, Gerrard, Alonso, Kuyt, Torres, Lucas, Cavalieri, Ngog, Riera, Insua, Spearing, El Zhar.
