Liverpool will be without defender Sami Hyypia for the home Premier League game with Middlesbrough after the veteran picked up a hamstring injury playing for Finland in midweek.
But boss Rafael Benitez will have Dutch winger Ryan Babel back in the squad now that he has returned from the Olympics. Either way Liverpool has a stacked team and Middlesborough should be happy if they can even pick up a point via a tie game.

Justin Hoyte could make his debut for Middlesbrough after he was signed too late to join the squad for last week's game against Tottenham, either way I still pick Liverpool to win this game by a score of 3-1.
