Sturridge returns to starting XI for Villa

Rodgers makes just one change to the team that beat Stoke City 5-3 on Sunday, with Lucas Leiva moving to the bench.
The Liverpool team: Mignolet, Johnson, Cissokho, Skrtel, Toure, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez.
Substitutes: Jones, Kelly, Lucas, Moses, Allen, Aspas, Alberto.
