With Daniel Sturridge or Divock Origi as a direct replacement

This was the method deployed on Saturday afternoon when Divock Origi replaced Phillipe Coutinho in the 34th minute of the clash with Sunderland, and Origi adapted well to break the deadlock with 15 minutes left on the clock, and is also the system which has been used with Daniel Sturridge at other points in the season.

Both players are capable of playing out wide if required and cause havoc for full-backs who are bamboozled as they use their pace to run wide before cutting inside, not only creating chances for themselves but also opening up spaces for other players to bomb on into and attack in numbers.

Another candidate may be midfielder Adam Lallana, who has so far been deployed in a deeper role, but who has the attributes to play in such a role in place of Coutinho.
