Champions League News :: Gerrard and Alonso likely to face Standard Liege

Posted on 2008-08-13 by Gooner

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes skipper Steven Gerrard has a good chance of being fit after he trained with the squad on Tuesday night.

But Benitez has travelled to Belgium without Irish full-back Steve Finnan, amid reports of a row between the two.

The Spaniard has confirmed that midfielder Xabi Alonso will play.

That could mean the Spaniard will then be cup-tied in the competition and worth a lot less than the fee Liverpool may want for him.

Liverpool Likely Line-up :
Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Dossena, Kuyt, Gerrard, Alonso, Benayoun, Torres, Keane.

Subs (from): Cavalieri, Plessis, Ngog, Spearing, Hyypia, Pennant, Darby.
