Hodgson Faces Injury Crisis

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson will be without Paul Konchesky for Blackpool's visit, while Daniel Agger and Martin Kelly remain doubts. Left-back Konchesky has a hamstring problem and will miss the tie against Blackpool, while Kelly picked up a knee injury in the stalemate against FC Utrecht and could also miss out. Agger, who could full in at left- back, has a groin problem and is also doubtful for the game on Sunday, while Fabio Aurelio is ruled out with an Achilles complaint. However, Steven Gerrard will return to the side after being rested for the trip to Holland on Thursday, with Fernando Torres also expected to start against the Seasiders.
