Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is hoping for a selection boost ahead of their Capital One Cup semifinal second-leg at Chelsea.
There is the possibility of striker Daniel Sturridge returning to the squad having not played since the end of August.
"Hopefully when Daniel comes back it will give us a cutting edge. He is a big miss for us as he is a fantastic player," Henderson said.
"Hopefully he comes back and gets the goals straightaway.
"We have a lot of confidence after the first leg and we were a little bit disappointed we didn't win.
"The confidence has grown over the last month or two, we've picked up some really good results and the team spirit has been fantastic so it is a good opportunity for us on Tuesday.
"The game might be a little bit different, they will be coming straight at us from the off and they have some fantastic players but we are a good team so we need to defend like we have been doing and hurt them on the break.
"One of our aims this season is to get a trophy and if we beat Chelsea we are not far away as we will be in a final at Wembley."
