Big guns to return for Reds

(24-09-2010) Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is set to recall his big guns - the likes of Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Joe Cole and Jose Reina – for Saturday in the hope they can lift the gloom against Sunderland at Anfield. This follows the club’s humiliating Carling Cup defeat to League Two team Northampton in midweek. "Basically there are 12 or 13 players, if you take Fabio Aurelio who didn't play against Northampton, and they are the more famous names,” insisted Hodgson on Friday. "The fans know we took a risk playing a totally different team and I don't think they will see it any differently to the way I saw it. We didn't lose against Northampton because we were casual in our approach or we were lethargic in our play, we lost because we defended poorly and we didn't use the ball well enough with the possession we had."
