Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers retains confidence in goal-shy Mario Balotelli.
Rodgers has tried to boost Balotelli's confidence by telling his striker that he is at least getting into the right positions but there are suggestions he may leave the 24-year-old on the bench.
"He's been fine, of course he was disappointed after the weekend - he's a goalscorer so he wants to score goals," said Rodgers.
"But I highlighted to him he was in the positions to miss, he was arriving in the areas, so I think it's only a matter of time before he gets his goals.
"He's a good kid, he's working hard and he has scored goals in big games and I'm sure he will go into the game tomorrow night - if selected - focused on getting off the mark again, and as long as he is in there getting into the positions I'm sure he can score."
