Gerrard limped out of the 3-2 victory over Tottenham on Tuesday, and with their regular captain absent Jordan Henderson takes on the armband. Meanwhile, Sterling, who did not feature against Spurs, has been left out as he continues his recovery from a foot knock that he picked up in the 0-0 draw against Merseyside rivals Everton last weekend.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers makes two changes from the side that defeat Spurs with Gerrard replaced by Joe Allen and Adam Lallana coming in for Jordan Ibe, who is cup-tied having already featured for Derby this season.
