Liverpool are set to recall Rhys Williams from his loan spell at Championship side Blackpool - with interest growing in Nat Phillips before next week's transfer deadline.
Williams has made 17 appearances for the Tangerines since agreeing a season-long spell in the summer, although he has featured only once in the last five games.
The Reds have been happy with the first-team experience gained by the 21-year-old, particularly after a difficult loan spell at Swansea City last campaign in which he featured on only seven occasions before being recalled.
