Tony Pulis will hope his side can travel to Merseyside and take all three points, a feat they achieved at the Brittania back in September. The Potters had to thank their lucky stars after winning 1-0 with a penalty, but on the day the Reds luck eluded them as they smashed the post and crossbar on several occasions.
The Reds luck has yet to truly change in league outings, but Dalglish’s side will be confident on Saturday knowing their recent cup outings have shown some progress. Steven Gerrard played his first full 90 minutes since returning from his second injury spell and is likely to retain his place in the midfield. Andy Carroll and Craig Bellamy will likely retain their places as well following a strong outing against Manchester City.
The Kop will be bouncing as the Reds look to stay on track to their biggest target this season; fourth place. Owner John Henry set the minimum goal in the summer, and though the Reds find themselves in sixth place, fourth is still within reach. The Reds lie three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and two points behind fifth-placed Arsenal.
