Daniel! Liverpool star rapped for studded ear... but it won't bother Rodgers if he scores again against struggling Palace.

Daniel Sturridge may have fired seven goals and been Liverpool's lynchpin for the majority of the season, but he's not too good to avoid a telling off.
The England striker, who was named in Roy Hodgson's squad for their crunch World Cup qualifiers, was asked by manager Brendan Rodgers to remove his ear-rings while training at Melwood.
The Reds host strugglers Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend, and Sturridge will fancy himself to add to his five league goals against an Eagles back four to have conceded 10 goals already.

Liverpool will treat Palace match like a cup final

Sturridge is all set to start at Anfield alongside Luis Suarez after the pair linked up superbly during the win at Sunderland last weekend. 
Suarez was back at the Stadium of Light after a 10-match domestic ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
Talking about the Uruguayan's return, Rodgers said: 'He has come back very well. The idea is that we can have a squad when someone is missing, someone else will come in. Hopefully it will prove seamless.'

Another man to earn praise is Jordan Henderson - who shared a joke with Sturridge during the ear-ring fiasco - with the manager insisting his utility man status is a compliment to the player's flexibility.
'I've been so impressed since I've been here, Jordan has become better and better,' Rodgers said.
'His level, tactically, is very good. He's one that wants to improve all the time.
'If I didn't think he could play the role and function in the roles properly I wouldn't put him there so it's great credit to him.

Utility: Henderson has been praised for his versatility

'At the end of last season, he played as a false winger from the left, coming inside and got goals.
'He played his first season here wide on the right. He's played as a wing-back, wide in a midfield four.
'In all the systems, what you get from him is a work-rate and a mentality and Jordan has got quality.
'I don't see it as a hindrance for him, I see it only as a positive. I know he's really enjoying playing.'
