Liverpool will be hoping to build on their great win against Chelsea and mount a serious challenge for a top four finish when they welcome Wigan this weekend
Liverpool are hopeful Steven Gerrard will recover from the groin problem that ruled him out of England duty.
Martin Kelly should feature despite an ankle injury but Martin Skrtel is doubtful with a thigh problem, and Jonjo Shelvey is out for three months.
Jamie Carragher should keep his place, regardless of whether Dalglish plays with two or three centre-backs, but it remains to be seen if winter signing Luis Suarez features in attack after a role as an unused substitute in the win at Chelsea.
Wigan defender Gary Caldwell could play with a mask to protect the cheekbone he fractured earlier this month.
Republic of Ireland midfielder James McCarthy, who missed international duty to rest his ankle, should be available.
Meanwhile Wigan scored a dramatic 4-3 win over Blackburn last week. Jason Roberts put Blackburn ahead early on, but James McCarthy equalized soon after. Hugo Rodallega and McCarthy then made it 3-1 for the Latics before Christophe Samba pulled one back for Blackburn. The Latics then took charge of the game as Ben Watson scored from the spot to make it 4-2 and even though David Dunn scored another goal from a penalty, it was too late for the Rovers. Manager Roberto Martinez was delighted with the spirit shown by his side. Conor Sammon, who was signed late on the transfer deadline day, could make his debut in this game.
