Wanderers name an unchanged side from the one beaten in their last Premier League outing by
target="_blank">Manchester United – but injury has ruled Ivan Klasnic out of the reckoning on the bench.
Owen Coyle names a five man midfield at the Reebok for the first time this season knowing a victory could lift the Whites out of the bottom three.
The system worked against Liverpool’s Mersey rivals Everton, and with David Ngog restored to his lone role up front after a rest in the cup in midweek, Coyle will be hoping the Frenchman can show the same kind of form he did at Goodison Park to sink his old club.
Klasnic was replaced by Ngog in the second half against Macclesfield in the FA Cup and drops out of the squad completely.
Liverpool make three changes from the side held to a goalless draw by Stoke City, with Kenny Dalglish bringing Daniel Agger, Maxi Rodriguez, Andy Carroll and Craig Bellamy in for Sebastien Coates, , Jamie Carragher and Stewart Downing.
Wanderers: Bogdan, Steinsson, Knight, Wheater, Ricketts, Eagles, Reo-Coker, Muamba, M Davies, Petrov, Ngog
Subs: Lynch, Tuncay, K Davies, Pratley, Boyata, O'Halloran, Riley
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Agger, Gerrard, Carroll, Rodriguez, Henderson, Adam, Skrtel, Bellamy
Subs: Doni, Coates, Kuyt, Downing, Carragher, Shelvey, Kelly.
