Skipper Steven Gerrard will be back to lead Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Old Trafford, having been rested with a slight hamstring strain for the win at Blackburn last weekend.

Boss Rafael Benitez is without the cup-tied Robbie Fowler, and is expected to bring back striker Peter Crouch, who was also rested at Ewood Park.

It is likely that John Arne Riise will revert to left-back while Harry Kewell should return on the left, with Gerrard expected to play on the right.

Eidur Gudjohnsen is ill and will not play for Chelsea in tomorrow's FA Cup semi-final.

Michael Essien is also nursing a knee injury, giving Jose Mourinho a selection problem in midfield.

Petr Cech expects to be fit after limping out of Monday's win against Everton with a cut knee but Mourinho will probably stick with his regular FA Cup goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.
