Jordan and Lazar in for 223rd derby
Jordan Henderson and Lazar Markovic have been named in Liverpool's starting XI to face Everton in the 223rd Merseyside derby this afternoon as Brendan Rodgers opts for two changes to his Barclays Premier League line-up.
The former returns to action having missed the midweek Capital One Cup tie with Middlesbrough due to a hip strain, while the latter gets his first taste of facing the Blues after featuring at Anfield on Tuesday, replacing Fabio Borini from the side that lost against West Ham United last weekend.
Rodgers has made one other alteration to the team that suffered defeat at Upton Park - Adam Lallana is reintroduced from the off, with fellow midfielder Lucas Leiva dropping to the substitutes' bench.
Philippe Coutinho is fit enough to be named in the 18-man squad after a groin complaint, while Suso is rewarded for his goal past Boro earlier in the week with a place in the manager's group.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Manquillo, Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Gerrard, Henderson, Markovic, Lallana, Sterling, Balotelli.
Substitutes: Jones, Enrique, Toure, Lucas, Coutinho, Suso, Lambert.
