Gerrard may be travelling but if Benitez is moaning about him playing for England then he may be suggesting he needs to miss this game...

He certainly wasnt in the game at the weekend that's for sure so maybe
Momo Sissoko will be a favourite to start or at least play some of the game. I was surprised not to see him get a game at the weekend especially as Alonso was out.
Momo has scored just 1 goal in 78 appearances for us so far and would be hard to fancy as first goalscorer based on that stat but i've seen him being a little more adventurous on goal in the few games he's played this season. He scored a good goal at Sunderland and seems happy and settled at the club now. I believe last week he became a father for the first time and i'm sure he'd love to score a goal for the wee one, maybe his team mates will make sure he gets an attempt or two on goal. I think his big odds are worth taking a chance on for this game.
(008) Momo 1st scorer, 2.00 @ 33/1, Anytime, 2.00 @ 10/1 Betfred
