Rafa to shuffle his Reds pack again
Rafa Benitez is likely to shuffle his side for the trip to Derby on
Boxing Day with an away trip to Manchester City on the horizon next
Sunday. Benitez has already made 223 alterations to his sides this
season, on a match-to-match basis, and used 77 substitutions,
making it a remarkable 300 changes in player personal in 28 matches
so far.
And there will be more of the same at Pride Park, with Ryan Babel,
Andriy Voronin, Fabio Aurelio and Lucas all in the running for a
starting berth. Youngster Jack Hobbs could also get another run-out
in defence while Xabi Alonso could also continue his comeback from
injury.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hobbs, Hyypia, Riise,
Aurelio, Benayoun, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Kewell, Babel,
Lucas, Sissoko, Crouch, Kuyt, Torres, Voronin, Itandje.
