Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has recovered from a hamstring injury and is set to return against Leicester on Boxing Day.
Centre-back Martin Skrtel is out for six weeks with a hamstring problem but will be replaced by fellow defender Dejan Lovren, who has recovered from a similar problem which kept him out of last weekend's defeat at Watford.
Midfielder James Milner (calf) faces another couple of weeks out while striker Daniel Sturridge (hamstring) will continue to train for the next 10 days before a decision is made on his selection chances.
Danny Drinkwater is expected to sit out Leicester's trip to Liverpool.
The midfielder missed Saturday's 3-2 win at Everton with a hamstring injury and Claudio Ranieri will not rush one of his stars back into action.
Robert Huth is back after suspension for the Premier League leaders and could replace Marcin Wasilewski, who deputised for him at Goodison Park, while Jeff Schlupp (hamstring) remains sidelined.
Provisional squads
Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Henderson, Coutinho, Benteke, Lallana, Bogdan, Toure, Randall, Allen, Ibe, Firmino, Origi.
Leicester: Schmeichel, Schwarzer, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, de Laet, Wasilewski, Benalouane, Fuchs, Kante, King, Inler, Mahrez, Dyer, Albrighton, Vardy, Okazaki, Ulloa, Kramaric.
