Sterling back for Reds at Villa Park
Brendan Rodgers makes one change to his Liverpool line-up for today's clash with Aston Villa – Raheem Sterling returns to the team in place of Steven Gerrard.
The captain is unavailable for inclusion in the squad due to the hamstring issue that forced his half-time withdrawal at Sunderland a week ago.
Sterling therefore makes an immediate comeback to the XI following his brief break from duty, in the only alteration from the side that started the victory at the Stadium of Light.
Meanwhile, Jordon Ibe is named among the substitutes for the Barclays Premier League encounter at Villa Park, having been recalled from his loan spell with Derby County on Thursday.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Skrtel, Can, Sakho, Markovic, Moreno, Lucas, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Borini.
Substitutes: Ward, Enrique, Lambert, Manquillo, Lallana, Ibe, Williams.
