Rafa Benitez has vowed to pick the strongest side possible to face League One Luton in the third round FA Cup replay at Anfield on Tuesday.
The Liverpool boss has rejected claims he fielded a weakened team for the original match, which the sides drew 1-1.
Steven Gerrard was missing from the team through injury, and Fernando Torres did not play.
"I was surprised when a journalist questioned me about not using my strongest team," said Benitez.
"We had 10 international players in the side but the journalist was just talking about Fernando Torres, so I think he didn't know exactly about our squad.
"We will approach the replay with the same idea. I will use a strong team again because we want to progress in the FA Cup.
"It is a fantastic competition and we want to win it again."

would be hysterical if Luton, with all their troubles won, or at least held them to a draw.
Although Pool would win on pens .

Luton boss Kevin Blackwell says that some of his players could refuse to face Liverpool in Tuesday's FA Cup third-round replay at Anfield.
Blackwell, who handed in his notice last Friday, says players fear putting transfers from the financially-stricken club at risk.
Blackwell said: "I don't even know who I will have available to play.
......................
Now can they do that ?

It might be the only chance they'll ever get. And if we don't turn up they'll be no money for us, that's what this game is all about. If we keep the score under 4-0 to Liverpool, that'll be a result for us.
