TEAM NEWS:
Joe Cole misses out for Liverpool after suffering a minor hamstring
injury during the 1-0 first-leg win, but boss Brendan Rodgers - in his
first match at Anfield - could restore Luis Suarez to the team only a
few days after he returned from Uruguay Olympic duty. Midfielder Lucas
Leiva could also return after missing most of last season through
injury, while keeper Pepe Reina is available after missing the first leg
due to an extended post-Euro 2012 vacation.
Gomel will be without midfielder Alexey Timoshenko after he joined FC
Belshina Bobruisk on loan for the rest of the domestic season. Artur
Levitzki and Vadzim Demidovich also miss out, with Denis Yakhno and Ihar
Kuzmenok coming in.
MANAGER QUOTES:
Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool): "It will be an honour for me to
walk out at Anfield tomorrow night for my first game there. It is going
to be an incredible privilege for me but my focus will be to win the
game. That will be the most important objective for me on the evening.
I'll look to try and make Anfield a real cauldron of a place to come and
play."
Oleg Kubarev (FK Gomel): "We were disappointed to lose the first game
so narrowly but we gave our city and fans a great day. We are going to
Anfield to put up a fight."
