Next Up: Portsmouth (h)

Liverpool welcome Portsmouth and former striker Peter Crouch at Anfield on Wednesday evening (8pm kick off).

Pompey are without a manager after Harry Redknapp’s sudden departure to Tottenham.

Liverpool go into the game on the back of their win over Chelsea but knowing that anything less than a win here will, again, take a shine off the heroics of beating one of the big four. Just as it did when they followed up beating Man United by drawing at home to Stoke.

Fernando Torres is figthing to be fit after missing the last four matches.
