Nobody picks their position - Rodgers

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has warned potential new signings there will be no guarantees when they arrive at Anfield.

A move for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge is progressing after encountering a few hitches earlier in negotiations, with the player undergoing his medical on Monday.

The Reds are also hopeful of bringing former winger Tom Ince back to the club from Blackpool, but Rodgers stressed any new arrival would have to earn their place after rumours Sturridge wanted assurances he would get given a run in his preferred central striker role. Rodgers said: "No-one coming into this football club will demand where they play."
