MELLOR POSER FOR BENITEZ

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez must decide whether to plunge youngster Neil
Mellor into Premiership action at Middlesbrough now he has lost Milan
Baros, as well as Djibril Cisse, from his striking department.

Cisse is out for the season with a broken leg while Baros has been ruled
out for a month after damaging a hamstring playing for the Czech Republic
in their 2-0 midweek win in Macedonia.

Benitez also has Florent Sinama-Pongolle as well as Harry Kewell to call
on, but finding an emergency forward partnership before he can buy in the
transfer window is becoming increasingly difficult.

The good news for Liverpool is that Steven Gerrard is back from eight weeks
out with a broken metatarsal, while Spanish winger Antonio Nunez will play
in the reserves next week and be fit for the home league game with Arsenal.

Middlesbrough striker Szilard Nemeth returns to the squad after a lengthy
absence with a hip injury.

Michael Reiziger is closing in on a comeback after being out since
virtually the start of the season with a shoulder injury, but despite an
hour in the reserves this week, the right-back is at least another week
away from a return.

Boss Steve McClaren remains without four other players through injury - Ugo
Ehiogu, Gaizka Mendieta, Stuart Parnaby and Chris Riggott.
