Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers made one change from the Reds' victory over Manchester City as Daniel Sturridge came in for Lazar Markovic.

The England man came on for Markovic in the late stages of Liverpool's victory over City, but was handed a start for the visit of Burnley.

The Clarets are unchanged for the trip to Anfield.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Henderson, Allen, Moreno, Lallana, Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge

Subs: Ward, Johnson, Toure, Lambert, Balotelli, Williams, Markovic

Burnley: Heaton; Trippier, Keane, Shackell (c), Mee; Kightly, Jones, Arfield, Boyd; Barnes, Ings.

Subs: Gilks, Duff, Vokes, Wallace, Reid, Jutkiewicz, Ward

The Reds are unbeaten in 10 Barclays Premier League games but Rodgers expects a strong test as Sean Dyche brings relegation battlers Burnley to Anfield on Wednesday.

Early in that sequence Raheem Sterling struck as the Merseysiders edged to an unconvincing 1-0 win at Turf Moor and, despite the improvement in form since, Rodgers knows his team will need to be alert.

Rodgers said: "I rate Burnley as a team, and the manager in particular. Sean Dyche has done an incredible job at Burnley. He is a Premier League manager who is very talented.

"I think they have given absolutely everything to the cause. They got a great promotion and Sean is maybe up there, I am sure, as one of the candidates for manager of the year, irrespective of what happens."
