Ipswich's player of the year Mark Venus returns after a groin problem in the must-win Premiership match at second-placed Liverpool.

Needing a third consecutive league victory over the Reds at Anfield to retain any chance of surviving on the final day, George Burley's team are also boosted by John McGreal and Tommy Miller recovering from viruses.

Record £4.8million signing Matteo Sereni (thigh) is fit again but may not oust Andy Marshall in goal.

Team (from): Marshall, Bramble, McGreal, Venus, Hreidarsson, Reuser, Peralta, Holland, Clapham, Marcus Bent, Stewart, Wilnis, Miller, Darren Bent, George, Ambrose, Magilton, Brown, Armstrong, Sereni.
