The Reds had their hopes of making further progress in the league table dashed by Wigan, who won 1-0 thanks to a lone goal from Hugo Rodallega. Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez was furious with his players and said that lack of application cost them the three points.
Benitez will be hugely disappointed as rivals Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham are in great form and could clinch the fourth spot. Glen Johnson could make a comeback in this game, while Sotirios Kyrgiakos returns after serving a three-match suspension.
Meanwhile Portsmouth's troubles increased on Tuesday when the side lost 1-2 to Birmingham just 48 hours after beating the same side in the FA Cup. A brace from Cameron Jerome gave the Blues a fine win and kept Pompey at the foot of the table.
Manager Avram Grant will be aware that survival is now a distant dream, but will still hope his side can pose a challenge to Liverpool. For this game, John Utaka and Hassan Yebda are doubtful starters with groin and knee injuries respectively.
