Reina and Torres to face Utrecht in Europa League tonight

Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina will feature in Liverpool's Europa League tie against Utrecht, Roy Hodgson confirmed yesterday.

The Liverpool boss has largely chosen to play his second string in the Reds' European campaign to date, and qualification for the next round is already secure following the 1-1 draw at Steaua Bucharest.

Liverpool are in dire need of an upturn in form after losing three of their last six Premier League matches, and Torres is a player, who could use a confidence boost after failing to score in his last four outings. With skipper Steven Gerrard expected to return against Fulham at the weekend, Hodgson confirmed some of his biggest stars will be handed match-time tonight.
