Liverpool travel to Stoke tomorrow for their first match after the annoying international break. Before the internationals got in the way Liverpool were playing some good football and will be looking to continue their form after that successful 3-1 victory over Bolton.
Team news: Stoke's £10million record signing Peter Crouch is set to make his debut against former club Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium.
Other new boys Wilson Palacios and Cameron Jerome may also feature in the Premier League clash, but Marc Wilson and Rory Delap will have their hamstrings assessed ahead of kick-off.
Stoke City (Probable, 4-4-2) lineup: Begovic; Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson; Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington; Crouch, Walters.
Out: Fuller (Achilles), Higginbotham (knee).
Team news: New signing Craig Bellamy is set for a place on the bench for Liverpool's trip to Stoke.
Captain Steven Gerrard is close to a return after a groin operation sidelined him in March while right-back Glen Johnson is in contention for his first start of the season after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Defender Martin Kelly is also close to fitness after sustaining a hamstring problem in Liverpool's last outing against Bolton prior to the international break.
Liverpool (Probable, 4-3-3) lineup: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique; Kuyt, Adam, Henderson; Downing, Suarez, Carroll.
Out: Gerrard (groin), Kelly (hamstring).
Red's Fury™ prediction: Stoke 1 Liverpool 2.
