Torres and Aquilani set to feature

Fernando Torres and Alberto Aquilani are poised to be included as Liverpool complete their miserable Champions League campaign at home to already-qualified Fiorentina this evening.

Rafael Benitez’s men, the Champions League winners in 2005 and finalists in 2007, failed to progress from Group E, with two losses from five games ahead of the contest with La Viola.

The Champions League has proved to be a bitter experience for Benitez and the Reds this season, with both more accustomed to glory nights at Anfield in the knockout stages.

But there are positives for the five-time European champions ahead of Sunday’s crunch Barclays Premier League fixture with Arsenal.

Spain striker Torres is set to return from a groin injury, Italian midfielder Aquilani – a £20million signing from Roma – is poised to start for the first time and captain Steven Gerrard is expected to feature.

Goalkeeper Jose Reina and forward Dirk Kuyt, however, appear set to be rested for the dead rubber.
