Cole out for Reds
Joe Cole will miss Liverpool's Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester City through suspension but Javier Mascherano could return.
Cole begins a three-match domestic ban after his sending off against Arsenal last weekend but Mascherano is making good progress in his recovery from a calf injury.
Daniel Agger is less likely to feature after suffering concussion in the Arsenal game but the Dane has not yet been ruled out.
Captain Steven Gerrard will return after being rested for the Europa League tie against Trabzonspor and Fernando Torres is pushing for his first start of the season.
Dirk Kuyt, Glen Johnson, David Ngog and Martin Skrtel could also be back while Christian Poulsen is in contention for a Premier League debut. New goalkeeper Brad Jones is likely to be on the bench.
