Gerrard set for Liverpool return

Uefa Champions League, Group D: Liverpool v Marseille
Venue: Anfield Date: Wednesday 26 November Kick-off: 1945 GMT

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is expected to play in Wednesday's Champions League tie against Marseille.

He has recovered from a groin injury, which forced him to miss Saturday's goalless draw with Fulham, as well as England's win over Germany last week.

Striker Fernando Torres is available for action after returning last week from a hamstring problem.

A Liverpool win over the team that beat them 1-0 at Anfield last season would secure a place in the knockout stages.


Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez:

"We are disappointed about Saturday but we cannot talk about past games now. We have to think about making mistakes and analyse why and find solutions for the next game.

"We are frustrated, really frustrated. How can we change that now? We have to analyse and talk to the players about the mistakes and try to change for the next game."
