He has been ruled out since the 4-0 setback at Wigan due to a leg injury but City boss Stuart Pearce has confirmed he is ready to return this weekend.
"He's fully fit," he told the City website. "He was fit again by last Thursday but we didn't think he had enough fitness under his belt to be involved last Saturday.
"This week has given him a full week of fitness work with the first-team squad, which is good for us and gives me another option.
"He knows full well that I pick my team on form and I know he wants to be involved against Liverpool, but I have got to be realistic and fair across the board as well."
