Gerrard return lifts Reds

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard returns to the side tomorrow against Fulham at Anfield after serving a three-match ban.

It is a boost for the club following the away win at Wolves on Saturday – Kenny Dalglish’s first victory since becoming caretaker manager.

Dalglish may be tempted to freshen things up and give a run-out to Joe Cole, who was an unused substitute at the weekend.

Milan Jovanovic could also return to the squad after missing the match at Molineux because of illness.

Provisional squad: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Lucas, Meireles, Gerrard, Kuyt, Cole, Rodriguez, Torres, Gulacsi, Aurelio, Kyrgiakos, Poulsen, Shelvey, Jovanovic, Ngog, Spearing, Pacheco.
