Fernando Torres could figure in only his second Premier League match in more than a month tomorrow against Fulham at Anfield.

Fernando Torres could figure in only his second Premier League match in more than a month tomorrow against Fulham at Anfield.

The £20m striker, an unused substitute in the 8-0 midweek win over Besiktas, is now pushing for a place up front, with boss Rafael Benitez admitting he has a difficult choice to make.

Harry Kewell, substitute in the last two games after a season sidelined through injury, is also in contention.

Daniel Agger is expected back in three weeks, Xabi Alonso in a month, while Jermaine Pennant is out until the new year.

Provisional squad: Reina, Finnan, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Hobbs, Aurelio, Riise, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Sissoko, Kewell, Voronin, Kuyt, Crouch, Torres, Martin, Lucas.
