Sturridge replaces Lazar Markovic in the lineup, with Raheem Sterling presumably dropping slightly deeper behind the forward.

Glen Johnson replaces the suspended Emre Can and Dejan Lovren comes in for Kolo Toure in the other changes to the side that lost at Arsenal on Saturday.

A place in the FA Cup semi-final against Premier League strugglers Aston Villa at Wembley on the weekend of 18/19 April awaits the winner of the tie.

The last meeting between Blackburn and Liverpool at Ewood Park was back in April 2012 when Andy Carroll scored a 90th minute winner in a 3-2 victory after an earlier brace from Maxi Rodriguez.

Adam Lallana continues to sit out with a groin strain, whilst Mario Balotelli and Jon Flanagan are also unfit. Jordon Ibe is both cup-tied and injured.
