Team News: Daniel Sturridge only makes Liverpool bench at Villarreal

Jurgen Klopp leaves Daniel Sturridge on the Liverpool bench in Thursday night's Europa League semi-final first leg against Villarreal.

Jurgen Klopp has left Daniel Sturridge on the Liverpool bench for tonight's Europa League semi-final first leg away at Villarreal.

With Divock Origi injured, Sturridge was in contention to lead the line in Spain, but Klopp has opted to play Roberto Firmino up top.

Sturridge dropping to the bench is one of three changes made by Klopp from Saturday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United. Connor Randall and Kevin Stewart are the other two players to miss out, with Nathaniel Clyne, Lucas Leiva and Philippe Coutinho coming in.

Villarreal boss Marcelino, meanwhile, has made two changes from the goalless draw with Real Sociedad on Saturday.

Jonathan dos Santos and Jaume Costa replace Antonio Rukavina and Samu Castillejo.

Villarreal: Asenjo; Mario, Bailly, Ruiz, Costa; Dos Santos, Pina, Bruno, Suarez; Soldado, Bakambu
Subs: Musacchio, Samu, Areola, Trigueros, Samu Castillejo, Adrian, Rukavina

Liverpool: Mignolet; Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Moreno; Lucas, Allen; Milner, Lallana, Coutinho; Firmino
Subs: Ward, Benteke, Sturridge, Skrtel, Ibe, Smith, Chirivella
