Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has said that Mario Balotelli will be given every chance to prove his fitness before Sunday’s Premier League clash with fierce rivals Manchester United.
Balotelli has missed Liverpool’s last six matches with a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, Rodgers expects midfielder Adam Lallana to feature at Old Trafford.
The England international has been playing through the pain barrier recently, having broken two of his ribs in the 3-1 win at Leicester City earlier this month.
Rodgers reported more good news when he claimed that defender Kolo Toure had a chance of being available to face United.
Toure was named as Liverpool’s Player of the Month for November.

Liverpool will fall 10 points behind United if they lose on Sunday.
The Reds are already 15 behind leaders Chelsea.
Liverpool did a Premier League double over their great rivals last season, but they will begin Sunday’s game as big underdogs.
United have won their last five matches on this spin, although their performance during Monday’s 2-1 victory over Southampton was widely criticised.
