Aurelio in line for Liverpool return

Defender Fabio Aurelio is set to return to the Liverpool squad for the 213th Merseyside derby at home to Everton tomorrow.

Aurelio has missed the last three matches with a calf problem but is on the verge of a comeback.

Liverpool’s only other absentees are striker Fernando Torres (knee), Yossi Benayoun (rib) and Glen Johnson (hamstring), all of whom are still some way off full fitness.

Provisional squad: Reina, Skrtel, Agger, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Insua, Aquilani, Gerrard, Lucas, Rodriguez, Riera, Ngog, Kuyt, Cavalieri, Pacheco, Spearing, Darby, Babel, Aurelio, Degen.
