Liverpool to win 2-0 is 5/1 and Steven Gerrard to score anytime 5/4. Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt to score is 9/2.
Liverpool return to Premier League action on Sunday against Blackburn aiming to boost their bid to finish in the top four.
The Reds dropped down to sixth spot following last weekend’s draw at Manchester City and they will be determined to keep pace with their rivals for a top-four finish.
Blackburn go into the game on the back of last weekend’s win over Bolton and they will be seeking their first Premier League win at Anfield since 1993.
Liverpool could hand Fernando Torres his first start since his return from knee surgery after he made a late substitute appearance against Manchester City and was then an unused substitute in the Europa League win over Unirea Urziceni.
Maxi Rodriguez is available again after being ineligible against Unirea and he could start as Rafa Benitez is expected to freshen up his side after the long trip to Romania.
Benitez could be forced into a reshuffle at the back with Martin Skrtel set to miss out with a broken toe picked up against Unirea and Sotirios Kyrgiakos serving the final game of his three-match ban.
With Glen Johnson still sidelined Jamie Carragher is likely to revert to central defence alongside Daniel Agger with youngster Martin Kelly set to step into right-back.
Blackburn make the trip to Merseyside without influential captain Ryan Nelsen.
The New Zealand international suffered a knee injury in last week’s defeat of Bolton and could be out for several weeks.
Christopher Samba is likely to take his place having served a suspension while Brett Emerton (Achilles) is also available again.
David Dunn is pushing for a recall having had a run-out in the reserves this week.
However, Sam Allardyce could stick with the side that performed so well against Bolton last time out.
Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Lucas, Mascherano, Kuyt, Gerrard, Maxi, Torres.
Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Givet, Samba, Olsson, Diouf, Andrews, Grella, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Kalinic.
Andy Gray says Martin O’Neill faces his biggest test yet as Aston Villa boss in the Carling Cup Final.
