Team News:As expected, Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez selects a cautious 4-4-1-1 formation for the Champions League final against AC Milan in Athens.
Captain Steven Gerrard is employed in a free role behind the lone striker in Dirk Kuyt, while Bolo Zenden is passed fit to play on the left of midfield.
Jermaine Pennant will provide the width on the right, while Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso will have the job of stopping the famous Milan midfield.
The return to fitness of Harry Kewell means that Robbie Fowler isn't even named on the bench, missing out on a fairytale finale to his Liverpool career.
Carlo Ancelotti's only selection dilemma was whether to play Fillipo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino up front.
The Milan coach has opted to go with the veteran Inzaghi, in a team that shows just one change from the semi-final second leg against Manchester United - Paolo Maldini recovering from injury to take his place in the centre of defence.
Teams:
Liverpool:Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Riise,
Pennant, Alonso, Mascherano, Zenden, Gerrard, Kuyt.
Subs:Dudek, Arbeloa, Hyypia, Kewell, Gonzalez,
Crouch, Bellamy.
AC Milan:Dida, Oddo, Maldini, Nesta, Jankulovski,
Pirlo, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Kaka, Seedorf, Inzaghi.
Subs:Kalac, Cafu, Kaladze, Gilardino, Favalli,
Serginho, Brocchi.
Referee:Herbert Fandel (Germany)
