LIVERPOOL defender Dejan Lovren is set to return to the starting line-up to face West Ham at home in the FA Cup.
The Croatia international has fully recovered from a hamstring injury which has kept him out of action for the last six matches.
The 26-year-old will be in a much-changed Liverpool side as manager Jurgen Klopp looks to rest key players at the end of a busy January.
Fellow centre-back Steven Caulker, on loan from QPR, could make his first start alongside him in the heart of the defence while Christian Benteke will be asked to lead the attack.
Provisional squad: Ward, Randall, Caulker, Lovren, Smith, Allen, Brannagan, Stewart, Ibe, Benteke, Teixeira, Mignolet, Flanagan, Sakho, Moreno, Ilori, Lucas, Toure, Lallana, Firmino, Ojo, Sinclair.
