Rodgers facing dilemma over Liverpool striker
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has to decide whether striker Daniel Sturridge is ready to start the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
The England international has made just two 20-minute substitute appearances since his comeback from a five-month lay-off but is approaching full fitness.
There are slight injury doubts over midfielders Lucas Leiva (thigh), Lazar Markovic (back) and Adam Lallana (groin).
Liverpool squad: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Henderson, Gerrard, Lucas, Moreno, Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Ward, Johnson, Manquillo, Enrique, Allen, Ibe, Lambert, Borini, Balotelli.
