Daniel Sturridge makes his first Liverpool start since August, against Tottenham at Anfield tonight (8pm kick off).
However, there’s no Raheem Sterling in the starting XI, with the 20-year-old struggling with a foot injury he suffered in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.
That means Lazar Markovic starts in the front three, alongside Philippe Coutinho behind Sturridge.
Steven Gerrard plays his third game in a week, he replaces Lucas Leiva in midfield, meaning Brendan Rodgers keeps with the same back three featuring Emre Can, Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho.
Teenager Jordon Ibe continues on the right hand side of midfield, with Alberto Moreno on the left.
Mario Balotelli returns to the squad, replacing Fabio Borini among the subs.
Tottenham are unchanged from the team that beat Arsenal at the weekend.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Ibe, Henderson, Gerrard, Moreno, Markovic, Coutinho, Sturridge.
Subs: Ward, Johnson, Lovren, Lambert, Lallana, Allen, Balotelli.
Tottenham: Lloris; Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Rose; Bentaleb, Mason; Lamela, Dembele, Eriksen; Kane
Subs: Vorm, Davies, Fazio, Chadli, Paulinho, Townsend, Soldado.
