Johnson and Aurelio return for Liverpool

Liverpool have Glen Johnson and Fabio Aurelio back from injury and in their starting line-up at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium for a Champions League match they must win to have any chance of staying in the competition beyond the group stages.

Otherwise it is the same side that drew with Manchester City on Saturday, with Ryan Babel out with an ankle injury and Yossi Benayoun on the bench, suggesting that his hamstring injury is still not completely healed.

Debrecen, without a point so far in this group, have made eight changes from the side that beat Honved in the Hungarian league at the weekend, and include seven of the side that lost 1-0 in the opening group match back in August at Anfield.
