Team news for Saturday evening's Premier League clash between Norwich and Liverpool at Carrow Road (kick-off 5.30pm).

Norwich striker James Vaughan is pressing for another Premier League start after his recovery from a frustrating injury spell.

Former Reds centre-back Zak Whitbread (hamstring) remains sidelined and will not be playing against his old club.

Fellow defenders Marc Tierney (groin) and Daniel Ayala (knee), another former Liverpool man, are ruled out of the season.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard returned to training during the week after being rested for the home defeat against West Brom.

However, with an FA Cup final in just over a week and two league matches to play before then manager Kenny Dalglish may look to protect some of his players, starting with Saturday's trip to Norwich.

Midfielder Charlie Adam's knee injury has ruled out a return before the end of the season.

Norwich (from): Ruddy, Ward, Naughton, Drury, Crofts, Pilkington, Surman, E Bennett, Fox, Hoolahan, Holt, Jackson, Morison, Wilbraham, Steer, Johnson, Martin, Howson, R Bennett, Vaughan.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Johnson, Flanagan, Kelly, Coates, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Enrique, Spearing, Shelvey, Gerrard, Henderson, Downing, Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy, Doni.
