Latest Team News From Liverpool
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has called in the big guns for his side's trip to Deepdale on Saturday. Benitez, who delivered his first press conference since undergoing surgey to remove kidney stones, has said that Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will be making the trip to Lancashire.

It was uncertain whether or not the Liverpool skipper would feature in tomorrow's FA Cup game but Benitez has confirmed that Gerrard will be involved in the third round clash.

The Spaniard said: "Steven has been okay, training normally. I said in the statement that I've talked to him. I am supporting him 100 per cent. The best thing for us is that he is focused on football, training well and he will play tomorrow.

"It's the same with Torres, who's been injured. He and Gerrard have not played too many games so they can play.

"Torres will be in the squad. If we need him he can play. He is not 100 per cent because he hasn't got the match fitness. But he is ready."

Liverpool's boss is also set to include Martin Skrtel and Fabio Aurelio to his squad after the pair have spent lengthy period's on the sidelines.

Benitez said: "They have been very good players for us in the past, so it'll be like signing three new players."

The inclusion of these players is a sign that Benitez is expecting a tough game against North End tomorrow and is taking nothing for granted at this stage of the competition.

"It will be difficult. Preston are doing well in the league and we know that to play against Liverpool is always a motivation. We know it will be a classic Cup game."
