Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani is a doubt as he has been laid low with a virus.
The Italy international missed training on Wednesday because of sickness and will be assessed ahead of the game.
Fellow midfielder Maxi Rodriguez is ineligible for European competition and Martin Skrtel (foot) and Fabio Aurelio (thigh) are also missing.
Lille are without defensive duo Nicolas Plestan and Mathieu Debuchy, as well as forwards Tulio de Melo and Gervinho.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez says his side are well aware of the importance of the game.
"They [the players] know it's the last opportunity to win a trophy," he said. "The main thing is to score and after that a clean sheet. We will try to look for both things.
It doesn't really matter what Liverpool think - it is what is in our mind that counts
Benitez saw some of the pressure on his side eased with a 4-1 win over Portsmouth on Monday and he is hoping to take that sort of form into the closing stages of a disappointing campaign.
"You have to move forward and try to do your best until the end of the season," he added. "That is the message - we are trying to do this every week.
"And hopefully after the four goals on Monday we could do this in the Europa League and, afterwards, in the league."
Lille coach Rudi Garcia insists his side, who lead courtesy of Eden Hazard's late free-kick in the first leg, will not be overawed by the Anfield atmosphere.
"There is no need to motivate the players for a game like this. The motivation has to be to get as far as we possibly can," said Garcia.
"It will be the same kind of mindset. We will need to score, not only defend and play for 0-0.
"We have more chance to qualify if we score. The main thing is, no matter what the atmosphere is like, it is about the 11 players out there.
"We know we are playing against a legendary side in a very atmospheric - almost mythical - stadium of legends but we have experienced this against Fenerbahce away from home.
"It doesn't really matter what Liverpool think - it is what is in our mind that counts."
