Sturridge has not featured since the start of December while Coutinho has missed the last month with a hamstring injury but both are part of Jurgen Klopp's squad making the trip to the capital. Sturridge and Coutinho along with striker Divock Origi, who has been missing for around six weeks also with a hamstring injury, were all pictured as the players arrived at Liverpool Airport ahead of their flight to London.

JACK GAUGHAN: Every team has one, every team needs one. They are the players who put in a shift week-in, week-out but never get the plaudits. These men are the selfless professionals of the Premier League, who might not necessarily steal the headlines but are sorely missed when they're absent. We take a look at the unsung heroes at each of the 20 Premier League clubs this season. 

IAN LADYMAN - FOOTBALL EDITOR: When the Barclays Premier League member clubs learned the sheer scale of the staggering TV deal that will begin next season, they rightly thought that it would change the face of English football once again. What they didn't expect was that, ultimately, it would put them at odds with their own supporters.

His hopes of reaching the Copa del Rey final may already be over, but Gary Neville cut a determined figure as he led his Valencia players in training on Tuesday morning. Barcelona will arrive at the Mestalla for Wednesday night's semi-final second leg with a 7-0 lead thanks to Luis Suarez's four goals and a Lionel Messi hat-trick at the Nou Camp last week. But despite the tie being effectively over and Valencia fans calling for his head following Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Real Betis, Neville was back on the training pitch in an attempt to arrest his side's worrying slump. 

Mark Noble is a throwback to another era - a local boy who goes onto play his entire career with his hometown club. Who would be more deserving to follow legends Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds and lift the FA Cup for West Ham? And in this season of the underdogs, who says it can't happen? West Ham face Liverpool in a fourth round replay at Upton Park on Tuesday night with a winnable tie at Championship club Blackburn Rovers up next. Many fans will be willing them to reach Wembley, partly for Noble's sake. Unrecognised by England, winning the Cup would be a more than adequate compensation for the Hammers midfielder who was born in nearby Canning Town. Nowhere would FA Cup success be more spectacularly celebrated than at West Ham.

Nicolas Colsaerts is not known as 'The Dude' for nothing. The Belgian with a reputation for big hitting and even bigger partying pulled off what might well be the shot of the year - but it wasn't on the golf course. Colsaerts instead managed to smash a 3-iron through an open hotel window, then over the room's balcony and away into the night sky. At 3am.

The Barclays Premier League ticket price stand-off could see fans across the country protesting against their clubs - but it's far from a new phenomena. Recent years have seen supporters take stands on issues including tickets, their ownership, and unhappiness with managers. Here, Sportsmail looks back at some of the most memorable protest movements from recent years.

Celtic are set to host Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals after a malfunction with the draw on Monday night saw them avoid a trip to Dundee United. The Bhoys were initially handed an away day at Tannadice Park before one of the team balls opened unexpectedly, forcing the live draw on Sky Sports News to be restarted.

Friendly Manchester rivalry is set for the streets of Cheshire after Raheem Sterling netted a £3.5million mansion close to Sir Alex Ferguson's. The winger, who left Liverpool for Manchester City over the summer, moved in to the six-bed property recently after settling well at his new club. Sterling's new place is said to boast a 30ft swimming pool as well as a cinema room and garage capable of housing three sports cars.

It wasn't all brotherly love and mutual admiration when the Vunipola boys joined forces for England at Murrayfield last Saturday. Billy's attempts to encourage Mako didn't go down well. He was met by the 'death stare'. Days after being named as one of three vice-captains in the national team, 23-year-old No 8 Billy was named man of the match for his rampaging display in the 15-9 RBS 6 Nations win over Scotland. But Mako, the older sibling by two years, was not prepared to be totally eclipsed, so the prop emerged from the bench to reinforce England's previously shaky scrum and help conjure a try for Jack Nowell with a sublime 'out the back' pass to Owen Farrell.

Andre Drummond recently won his first NBA All-Star selction and the 22-year-old showcased some of his skills in a rather surprising manner ahead of this weekend's spectacle in Canada. The 22-year-old is not known for his three-point shooting, instead for his dunks and rebounds, but he recorded the longest made shot of the season so far in the Detroit Pistons' 103-89 defeat by the Toronto Raptors. With just seconds remaining in the third quarter, the Pistons centre tried a 'hail-Mary' shot from 71 feet that flew straight into the hoop in front of an ecstatic home support at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

ADAM SHERGOLD: We are staring at one of the most remarkable finishes to a top-flight season in English football history. Can Leicester City really upset the established order and claim a stunning title triumph? Well, after their 3-1 win at Manchester City at the weekend, they have been installed as the bookmakers' favourites for the first time. With 13 rounds to play, they lead Tottenham by five points with Manchester City and Arsenal just about keeping up the chase. We take out our crystal ball to predict all the remaining fixtures for the current top four and how it is likely to end up.
