Gerrard to make 700th Liverpool appearance tonight

Steven Gerrard is set to make his 700th appearance for Liverpool tonight at FA Cup opponents Bolton Wanderers.

The 34-year-old has been declared fit after being left out of Saturday's 2-0 win over West Ham after reporting a tight hamstring in the 120-minute Capital One Cup defeat to Chelsea last Tuesday.

It means Gerrard could become only the third player in the club's history to reach 700 - after Ian Callaghan (857) and Jamie Carragher (737) - as his Anfield legacy continues to gather momentum.

"It is an incredible achievement. I am not so sure it will happen again at this club," said Rodgers. "He is a remarkable player. He lives his life for football."
