Everton are hopeful Marouane Fellaini (knee) will be fit for Sunday's Merseyside derby.
Tony Hibbert could return from a calf injury but the Toffees are without Steven Pienaar, who serves a one-match ban for his sending-off against QPR.
Liverpool will check the fitness of Pepe Reina, who is back in training after a hamstring injury.
But Glen Johnson should be fit after coming off at half-time against Anzi Makhachkala.
MATCH PREVIEW
The 219th Merseyside derby. It's tempting to leave it there, because this is an occasion that speaks for itself.
I've been lucky enough to attend several, and none have disappointed. Even when the game itself hasn't matched the excitement of the build-up, the atmosphere has more than made up for it.
The sides' respective starts to the season would have made Everton clear favourites a month or so ago, but there have been signs since that the Brendan Rodgers way is slowly having a positive effect at Anfield.
