Liverpool strikers Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi and playmaker Philippe Coutinho are all set to be included in the squad for the FA Cup fourth-round replay at West Ham.

All three returned to training last week and Sturridge was an unused substitute at the weekend.

Midfielders Joe Allen (hamstring) and Cameron Brannagan (illness) will not play while centre-back Dejan Lovren is likely to be rested as a precaution after being taken off with cramp at the weekend.

Provisional squad: Mignolet, Flanagan, Toure, Caulker, Smith, Lucas, Stewart, Can, Ibe, Teixeira, Benteke, Ward, Clyne, Ilori, Sakho, Milner, Lallana, Ojo, Coutinho, Sturridge, Origi, Sinclair.
