Roberto Firmino leads the Liverpool attack at Manchester City this evening as Daniel Sturridge returns as a substitute for Jürgen Klopp's side.

The summer signing is named from the start at the Etihad Stadium, while Dejan Lovren lines up in central defence and James Milner comes back to captain the team.

Sturridge is fit enough to be named on the bench for the Reds at the home of his former club.

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Milner, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino.

Substitutes: Bogdan, Toure, Randall, Allen, Ibe, Sturridge, Benteke.
