Is this how the Reds will line up when they take on Blackburn Rovers…?
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has plenty to consider ahead of his team’s FA Cup quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers. Does he named an unchanged team, after a very impressive performance against Burnley? Does he rest players? Does he recall captain Steven Gerrard?

Liverpool transfer news
The Liverpool captain is expected to return and play some role in the clash, most likely from the bench, while Mamadou Sakho and Glen Johnson – who have also been sidelined recently – are both available.
Here’s who we think he’ll go with:
GK) Simon Mignolet
The Belgian has been in fine form since the turn of the year, and with Brad Jones still out, his place is not under threat.
DRC) Kolo Toure
Emre Can has played a lot of football recently, while Toure has featured sparingly since his return from the African Cup of Nations.
DLC) Dejan Lovren
Steadily having his confidence restored, and looking more the player that Liverpool paid all that money for last summer.
DC) Martin Skrtel
Liverpool’s defensive leader has been a virtual ever-present so far this season. We don’t expect that to change here.
MR) Lazar Markovic
Has lost his place to Jordon Ibe and Raheem Sterling in recent games, so should be raring for a start in this one.
ML) Alberto Moreno
The Spaniard has place a lot of football in recent weeks, but it’s hard to see him dropping out for such an important game.
MC) Joe Allen
The hard-working midfield anchor man has been excellent in recent weeks, proving his army of critics whole-heartedly wrong.
MC) Jordan Henderson
Will continue to take the captaincy in the absence of Gerrard, he’ll be looking to continue his fine recent form.
AMRC) Adam Lallana
The former Southampton man has been highly impressive in recent games, and will be looking to keep that momentum going.
AMLC) Philippe Coutinho
There has been little stopping the Brazilian in recent weeks, and having had a rest against Besiktas, he should be raring to go.
FC) Raheem Sterling
With Brendan Rodgers still managing Daniel Sturridge’s game time, it should be Sterling who gets the nod up front in this one.
