FR: Lazar Markovic
In a more advanced role than usual, Lazar Markovic makes up part of the front three and could impress in a role with more freedom.
FL: Philippe Coutinho
In his floating role from the left, in-form Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho remains a key part of the Liverpool team.
FC: Raheem Sterling
Perhaps forced upfront as Mario Balotelli remains out of favour, Raheem Sterling has shone in this false 9 role and could be the man to replace Sturridge.
