Philippe Coutinho will mis Liverpool's trip to Besiktas tonight as manager Brendan Rodgers givesthe midfielder a much needed rest.

Coutinho has made 19 starts in a row since December and Rodgers has decided to rest him in a competition that is not as important as the league.

Recent stats show just how much Coutiho has improved since the start of 2015. He has made 34 successful dribbles and has had 16 shots with a shooting accuracy of 44%. He has also won 50 duels in the midst of his terrific form.

Liverpool will also be missing Jordan Henderson for the Europa League last 32 second leg tonight.
