JURGEN KLOPP admits it’s good to have Daniel Sturridge back involved for Liverpool tonight.
Sturridge could make his first appearance since the middle of November at Goodison Park.
He’s been named on the bench for the Merseyside derby which kicks off at 8pm.
Klopp has named Divock Origi up top with support from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
But Sturridge could be involved from the bench if he's needed.
And Klopp said: “It's good to have Daniel Sturridge back and that's why we took him on the bench. Maybe not for tonight but for the next few weeks.
"I've waited a long time to come to Goodison. I like ground-hopping. A chance to win new points. I went on the pitch earlier.
"It was a coincidence I watched [Rocky film] Creed in the build-up - Goodison Park played a role."
