Enrique set to start against Stoke

Defender Jose Enrique is set to return to Liverpool’s starting line-up for tomorrow’s visit of Stoke.

The Spaniard was left out for tactical reasons in the Carling Cup semi-final first leg win over Manchester City but is likely to return.

Midfielder Jay Spearing sustained a minor hamstring injury in midweek and that is likely to allow Charlie Adam to regain his place.

Provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Adam, Gerrard, Kuyt, Henderson, Downing, Carroll, Doni, Kelly, Carragher, Coates, Shelvey, Rodriguez, Bellamy.
