Philippe Coutinho back for Manchester City clash

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers confirms that midfielder Philippe Coutinho is available to face Manchester City after missing the team's Europa League defeat to Besiktas.

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho is available to face Manchester City at Anfield tomorrow after missing the team's Europa League defeat to Besiktas.

The Brazilian was rested for Thursday's match in Turkey, which the Reds went on to lose 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 aggregate draw.

However, Jordan Henderson will undergo a late fitness test after he also sat out the game in Istanbul.

"It's going to be similar to what we had the other night," manager Brendan Rodgers told the club's official website. "Young Phil Coutinho will be fine. But the rest will be as it was really.

"We'll assess one or two of the boys that have been out, like Jordan Henderson. We'll have a look at Jordan and see how he is."

Liverpool currently sit in sixth place in the Premier League table, while Manchester City are five points behind leaders Chelsea in second position.
