Team News: Daniel Sturridge leads Liverpool attack, Mario Balotelli among substitutes

Sturridge leads Liverpool attack

Daniel Sturridge will start his second game of 2015 as he leads the Liverpool attack in their FA Cup fifth-round tie at Crystal Palace this evening.

The only two changes made by Brendan Rodgers are enforced, with Joe Allen replacing the injured Steven Gerrard and Adam Lallana coming in for Jordon Ibe, who is cup-tied.

Raheem Sterling misses out once more with the foot injury that kept him out of Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, while Mario Balotelli remains on the bench despite his match-winning goal against Spurs.

The hosts have made five changes, with Scott Dann and debutant Pape Souare coming into the back four.

Yannick Bolasie, Dwight Gayle and Frazier Campbell have all been handed starts by Alan Pardew in an attack-minded side.

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Kelly, Dann, Hangeland, Souare; Ledley, Ward; Bolasie, Chamakh, Gayle; Campbell Subs: Hennessey, Mariappa, Delaney, Guedioura, Puncheon, Zaha, Murray

Liverpool Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Sakho; Markovic, Allen, Henderson, Moreno; Coutinho, Lallana; Sturridge Subs: Ward, Johnson, Lovren, Lambert, Manquillo, Borini, Balotelli
