Hodgson set to shake things up for United clash

Under-pressure Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is likely to make changes for Sunday’s FA Cup third round tie at arch-rivals Manchester United.

Under-pressure Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is likely to make changes for Sunday’s FA Cup third round tie at arch-rivals Manchester United.

Daniel Agger will probably come into central defence to replace Sotirios Kyrgiakos after the 3-1 defeat at Blackburn, while left-back Paul Konchesky - who sustained a dead leg in Wednesday’s match at Ewood Park – is coming under pressure from Fabio Aurelio.

Dirk Kuyt could be recalled having been a substitute at Ewood Park, which would mean Joe Cole or Maxi Rodriguez missing out. Midfielder Raul Meireles, who missed the Blackburn game with an ankle injury, is fit again.

Provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Aurelio, Lucas, Gerrard, Kuyt, Rodriguez, Torres, Ngog, Gulacsi, Kelly, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky, Meireles, Poulsen, Cole, Babel, Jovanovic.
