Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez could shuffle his pack for the Anfield clash with West Ham as he bids to keep his squad fresh for a testing week.Liverpool have Newcastle at home on Saturday and then Inter Milan away in the Champions League next Tuesday so Benitez could rest some of his key players against the Hammers.

Although the Spaniard has intimated that he will not be rotating as much now as the season draws to a climax, he could well change the side that won at Bolton on Sunday.

Steve Finnan is definitely out with a groin strain, but it unlikely that he will continue with Jamie Carragher at full-back, so Alvaro Arbeloa is a likely replacement.

Youngster Martin Skrtel could step down to allow Carragher back into central defence, while Peter Crouch and Yossi Benayoun - both unused substitutes at the Reebok Stadium - could come into contention.

Defender Daniel Agger continues his comeback from injury in Tuesday night's home reserve game against Bolton's second string.

Reds (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Aurelio, Riise, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, Babel, Kuyt, Torres, Crouch, Skrtel, Lucas, Martin.
