From AndyCoulthard on Twitter:
"Benitez showing who he trusts by sticking Riera in the first XI, even though he's been injured, and Babel stays on the bench."
1941: A few of you are wondering who the Liverpool captain is tonight, in the absence of the suspended Jamie Carragher and the benched Steven Gerrard. It's Dirk Kuyt, of course. The natural choice.
1937: Incidentally,
new world heavyweight champion David Haye
is reportedly hoping to make it to the New Den tonight to watch Millwall take on AFC Wimbledon. So he could be a giantkiller watching a giantkilling...
From JackHughesByZola on 606:
"Re 1926: Easy mistake to make Ms Cheese. That's why I had a fortnight in Barnsley this summer..."
From harriyott on Twitter:
"Re 1919: So it's Benitez vs. Benitez and Johnson vs. Johnson."
1930: TEAM NEWS Liverpool v Birmingham
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is on the bench after injury but striker Fernando Torres does not make the squad at all. Right-back Glen Johnson and centre-back Martin Skrtel replace suspended duo Philipp Degen and Jamie Carragher. Left winger Albert Riera and striker David Ngog also start. Birmingham's on loan keeper Joe Hart returns after being ineligible to play against parent club Manchester City last time out. Teemu Tainio comes in to replace suspended midfielder Barry Ferguson.

1926: Earlier today, I wrote Barcelona instead of Barnsley. It doesn't bode well for an error-free live text tonight...
1920: Yes, I meant Chris Morgan (1913). Silly moi. Manually refresh if that error is troubling you. Anyhoo, Sheffield United, for whom Morgan plays, are on a dreadful run of form. They're looking to avoid a fifth straight defeat and ease the pressure on manager Kevin Blackwell. The Championship lost one of its managers earlier as
Darren Ferguson got the boot from Peterborough.
1919: TEAMS Liverpool v Birmingham
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Kuyt, Benayoun, Riera, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Gerrard, Kyrgiakos, Babel, Spearing, Darby.

1917: And AFC Wimbledon are expected to take about 3,000 supporters to the New Den as they take on Millwall in the first round of the FA Cup. The winners face Staines in the next round.
1913: Away from the big game at Anfield, Sheffield United are at south Yorkshire rivals Barnsley tonight. The Blades are without Chris Morgan, whose elbow left Tykes striker Iain Hume with a fractured skull a year ago, after the defender picked up his fifth booking of the season in the defeat by Newcastle.
1911: On the plus side for Liverpool fans, Andriy Voronin isn't in the squad... Anyway, you know the drill by now: get in touch on 81111,
606
or
Twitter.
1907: And the truth is: Steven Gerrard is on the bench alongside Alberto Aquilani, but there is no Fernando Torres. At all. BBC 5 live's Mark Lawrenson ponders whether Torres might have had an operation on his troublesome hernia.
1906: With that in mind, it's hardly surprising that, according to some reports this morning, Rafael Benitez was reportedly considering chucking both Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard into the fray tonight. However, more recent rumours suggest Gerrard will start, but Torres won't. The truth will out
1900: So what's the definition of a must-win game? Could it be a game you go into 12 points behind the league leaders? On a run of six defeats in eight? Maybe you're at home, against a side just a point above the drop zone? Sound about right?
