Luis Boa Morte was a doubt but has recovered from a hamstring strain.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez:"We know we have to now concentrate on the Premiership and forget about Europe, apart from waiting for the last-16 draw next week.

"Now Europe is out of our minds we can work hard on correcting our league form."
