Brendan Rodgers has made three changes from his side who lost at Arsenal for tonight's FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn, including bringing Daniel Sturridge into the starting line-up.

Elsewhere, Dejan Lovren comes in for Kolo Toure and Glen Johnson replaces Emre Can. Lazar Markovic lost his place to Sturridge.

The Reds are hoping to bounce back from the disastrous 4-1 defeat at Arsenal last Saturday.

The original quarter-final between Liverpool and Blackburn ended in a 0-0 draw.

The winner of tonight's tie takes on Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 19 April.

Ahead of the match, Rodgers said: "It's important to have a game quickly when you lose. The group's very committed to winning this trophy.

"We know Blackburn will be a difficult game for us, but getting to a final and winning a trophy is what we want."
