Brendan Rodgers is focusing purely on Liverpool FC's Europa League clash ahead of the weekend's Merseyside derby.
The Reds play Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala and must avoid defeat if they are to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Europa League alive.
Group A is currently lead by tonight's visitors to Anfield and after a 3-2 defeat against Italian side Udinese, Liverpool are on the brink of elimination.
Rodgers is set to go all out and despite hosting Everton at the weekend, both Suarez and Gerrard are expected to play in the European competition for the first time this season.
“Everton V Liverpool is a massive game but it hasn’t been talked about. We are just purely talking about the game against Anzhi," Liverpool Assistant Coach Colin Pascoe told the Liverpool Post.
“We are looking at a lot of factors. We have a lot of games coming up. Anzhi then Everton, then Swansea, Newcastle, Anzhi again and then Chelsea.
“We are trying to mix it up because we know everyone can’t play every game.”
The first choice centre-back pairing of Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel are expected to play, with Brad Jones, who played against Reading at the weekend due to the injury of first choice keeper Pepe Reina, expected to be in goal once again.
Despite the importance of the match, Liverpool are also expected to field some youngsters and fringe players including the likes of Jack Robinson, Jordan Henderson, Ousamme Aissaidi and Samed Yesil.
“The young kids play with freedom. Raheem (Sterling), Andre (Wisdom) and Suso probably wouldn’t have had a chance if we’d bought other players in, but that’s history now and they’ve come in and performed unbelievably.”
