Brendan Rodgers is set to reward Brad Jones's improvement by offering him a new deal.

Jones' has been battling with Pepe Reina for the No 1 spot but the Spaniard is set to leave the club.
Here to stay: Brad Jones is set to be offered a new deal at Liverpool
Rodgers is considering January moves for Birmingham's England goalkeeper Jack Butland or young German prospect Ron-Robert Zieler.
Rodgers has been unsure about Reina, 30, since he arrived in the summer and wants a long-term replacement.
The Liverpool boss almost moved to sign England international Butland in the summer but held off. Now he is ready to step up his interest in the 19-year-old when the transfer window opens.

Zieler, meanwhile, is one of the best keepers in Germany and is contracted to Hannover with a 12.2m buy-out clause.
Having started his career at Manchester United, the 23-year-old joined Hannover in 2010 and has played more than 70 games. He also has two full Germany caps.
