Luis Suarez back for Liverpool; Aston Villa without Darren Bent at Anfield

14 December 2012 12:40
Luis Suarez will be back in the Liverpool squad following suspension for Saturday's Premier League game against Aston Villa.

The Uruguayan striker served a one-match ban against West Ham United and should go straight back into Brendan Rodgers' starting line-up. Jose Enrique is a major doubt after limping out of the win over West Ham with a hamstring strain and his absence could see Joe Cole handed a first Premier League start of the season. Aston Villa striker Darren Bent has been ruled out of the trip to Anfield with a hamstring injury and will miss the entire festive programme. Midfielder Ashley Westwood is available after being cup-tied for the midweek Capital One Cup quarter-final success at Norwich. Defenders Joe Bennett and Enda Stevens are back in contention after recovering from knee and ankle injuries respectively and returning to training.
