Team News: Daniel Sturridge returns for Liverpool

Sturridge returns for Liverpool

Daniel Sturridge returns for Liverpool this evening as they travel to Blackburn Rovers in an FA Cup quarter-final replay.

The England international was only fit enough to be used as a substitute in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Arsenal, but the striker is back in as Brendan Rodgers's men meet the Championship side at Ewood Park.

Meanwhile Glen Johnson comes in for the suspended Emre Can, and there is a start for Dejan Lovren who replaces Kolo Toure at the back in a three-man defence for the Reds.

Rudy Gestede is only fit enough for the bench for the hosts, who have named Jordan Rhodes up top, and Simon Eastwood and Corry Evans come in for the cup-tied Jay Spearing and David Raya.

Blackburn: Eastwood, Henley, Baptiste, Kilgallon, Olsson, Conway, Williamson, Evans, Marshall, Cairney, Rhodes

Liverpool: Mignolet, Johnson, Lovren, Coutinho, Henderson, Sturridge, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Allen, Sterling.
