Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of key players Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres on Tuesday ahead of the Champions League encounter in Marseilles.
Gerrard managed 22 minutes of Saturday's confidence boosting 2-1 victory over Manchester United on his return from a groin operation.
But Spanish international Torres remained on the bench after having suffered a hamstring injury against Aston Villa on August 31.
Javier Mascherano is also a doubt after pulling a calf problem on Saturday at stake.
Liverpool is second in the Premier League and France to head held high after a manager Rafael Benitez saw his team record its first league victory over United in his fifth season in charge.
"Now we will go to Marseilles in a good mood," said Benitez on Saturday after winning.
"That was our best performance of the season and now feel we can go into a Champions League good heart and spirit."
Former European champions Marseille met Liverpool in the group stage last season, winning 1-0 at Anfield before being Thrash 4-0 at home.
