Liverpool v Arsenal Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek will keep his place for his side's rearranged Carling Cup quarter-final. Craig Bellamy could return up front while defenders Sami Hyypia and Fabio Aurelio are also pushing for a recall.
Arsenal welcome back Cesc Fabregas, who was suspended for Saturday's FA Cup win against Liverpool at Anfield, and Abou Diaby returns after eight months out. William Gallas could return after a thigh injury but Emmanuel Adebayor and Freddie Ljungberg are out. Arsenal (from): Almunia, Eboue, Poom, Lehmann, Hoyte, Toure, Senderos, Clichy, Hleb, Silva, Flamini, Rosicky, Henry, Walcott, Van Persie, Baptista, Djourou, Diaby, Fabregas. Arsenal's Tomas Rosicky: "In almost every game we have created so many chances and not taken them. Compare that to the game on Saturday when we were very productive. "For example, I don't feel I played a good game even though I scored twice "This is a very good team but we have to be smarter. We have to avoid mistakes and take our chances." Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt: "We deserved more than we got on Saturday but Arsenal are one of the better teams in the Premier League so we know it will be tough," he said. "I hope that first defeat gives us an extra boost. "Players always want to win trophies. There are a few more to fight for and the Carling Cup is one of them."
