"To keep in line with Liverpool's season so far the Reds suffered yet another injury blow before the game with top scorer Neil Mellor ruled out with a knee injury so Darren Potter played just off the lone striker Le Tallec with captain John Welsh and David Mannix in central midfield. Jon Otsemobor played right wing with David Raven at right back.
With Florent Sinama-Pongolle ruled out for the rest of the season and Fernando Morientes not eligible for the Champions League Liverpool will be hoping that Mellor doesn't require an operation that would rule him out for the rest of the campaign."
