Liverpool are attempting to overhaul a 1-0 defeat from the semi-final first leg at El Madrigal a week ago.
They make seven changes from the 2-1 win at Bournemouth at the weekend with the most notable inclusion being that of Sturridge.
Emre Can is also handed a start after missing three weeks with ankle ligament damage. However, the Reds are still without Jordan Henderson (knee), Joe Gomez (knee) and Divock Origi, while Danny Ings's return to fitness is not quite complete.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Moreno, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge... subs: Ward, Benteke, Lucas, Allen, Skrtel, Ibe, Smith
Villarreal: Areola, Mario, Musacchino, Victor, Costa; Dos Santos, Pina, Bruno, Suarez; Soldado, Bakambu... subs: Asenjo, Rukavina, Bonera, Samu, Castillejo, Trigueros, Adrián López.
