Danny Ings, who has two goals in his last two games, will partner the England international up front. Brendan Rodgers appears to have opted for a back four, with Mamadou Sakho alongside Martin Skrtel in the centre of defence. Dejan Lovren, who sustained an injury in the Capital One Cup tie against Carlisle United, is expected to be out for around two months.
Tim Sherwood, meanwhile, starts Jack Grealish alongside Scott Sinclair and Rudy Gestede in the front three. Joleon Lescott partners captain Micah Richards in defence, while Irish international Ciaran Clark sits on the bench.
