Raheem Sterling has missed out on a place in the Liverpool squad against Tottenham Hotspur due to a foot problem.

The England international's run of games as the leader of Liverpool's attack comes to an end, but Daniel Sturridge is back in the starting lineup as he continues his bid to reach full fitness.

Jordon Ibe keeps his place in the side, while Mario Balotelli, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert are all on the bench.

Mauricio Pochettino has named an unchanged side for the trip to Merseyside as the visitors look to boost their Champions League hopes.

Spurs, who could climb into the Premier League's top four with a victory, field the same 11 players who started Saturday's 2-1 victory over North London rivals Arsenal.

Eric Dier keeps his place as Federico Fazio continues a spell on the bench, while Moussa Dembele, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen once again provide support for the in-form Harry Kane.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Gerrard, Henderson, Markovic, Coutinho, Ibe, Sturridge

Spurs: Lloris; Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Rose; Bentaleb, Mason; Lamela, Dembele, Eriksen; Kane
