The two sides will contest once again as they hope to make it to the next round of the competition after the fixture at Anfield ended in a stalemate. Despite their defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the Capital One Cup and their inability to break the deadlock at home against Bolton, the Reds will be satisfied with their recent run having lost just once in their last 12 matches in all competitions.
They will be further boosted by the return of Daniel Sturridge who scored upon his return to the side after a five month injury lay off in the match against West Ham. Raheem Sterling opened up the scoring for Liverpool after good link up play with Coutinho.
Sturridge then doubled the lead within 12 minutes after coming on with a fine finish to give his side a 2-0 lead. Manager Brendan Rodgers has been delighted with his star striker returning to the squad, claiming that it gives the rest of the side a huge boost in confidence.
"He lights up this team. He provides the light," he told reporters.
"When you add a top-class player like him to it, you can go to another level. When he came on, the team looked very, very good. He's still a bit of time off starting and it's just about bedding him back in.
"But to know that he's there over the next few weeks when it will be about regaining his football fitness."
Stand in captain Jordan Henderson was also full of praise for his compatriot also claiming that Sturridge's return will help Liverpool in being more clinical in front of the goal.
"We do feel more of a threat because he is a huge player, Daniel, He has so much talent and he can change a game in just a few seconds really," said Henderson.
"It's a great boost for everyone at the club – the fans, the players. We have had our intensity back, the pressing, but if there has been a negative, it's just that we needed to be more clinical in front of goal.
Bolton on the other hand have suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Rotherham United and drew against Wolverhampton in their two subsequent matches after the draw against Liverpool.
Goalkeeper Adam Bogdan who put up a fine performance in the match at Anfield has been ruled out for six weeks with Andy Lonergan likely to start between the posts.
