Andy Carroll will partner Luis Suarez in Liverpool's attack for this afternoon's Carling Cup final against Cardiff City at Wembley.
The selection of Carroll has meant that Craig Bellamy is forced to settle for a place on the bench.
Tom Heaton will start in goal for Cardiff, who are able to call upon Kenny Miller to lead the line.
Liverpool: Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique; Henderson, Gerrard, Adam, Downing; Suarez, Carroll
Cardiff: Heaton; McNaughton, Hudson, Turner, Taylor; Whittingham, Gunnarson, Cowie, Gestede, Miller, Mason
