Sturridge returns to start against Norwich
Daniel Sturridge makes his first Liverpool start since April as he returns to the team for the Barclays Premier League clash with Norwich City.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined with a hip problem since the closing stages of last season but is rewarded for his diligent recovery work with a place in Brendan Rodgers' starting XI against the Canaries.
Sturridge partners summer signing Christian Benteke up front for the first time as the Belgian is restored after missing the midweek Europa League trip to Bordeaux.
In defence, Mamadou Sakho and Alberto Moreno are rewarded for their impressive performances in that fixture as they retain their respective places.
Philippe Coutinho also starts again after serving a one-match league suspension that saw him miss the Old Trafford defeat by Manchester United.
Liverpool team: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Milner, Can, Lucas, Coutinho, Benteke, Sturridge.
Substitutes: Bogdan, Lovren, Firmino, Gomez, Lallana, Ings, Ibe.
