Liverpool badly missed their prolific SAS (Suarez and Sturridge) partnership last season as the Uruguayan was sold to Barcelona last summer and the former Chelsea striker mainly remained on the sidelines with injury.
The Reds have welcomed two more strikers this summer. Danny Ings arrived from Burnley after an impressive first season in the Premier League and Divock Origi has joined the club after completing his one year loan spell with Lille.
The merseysiders have no fewer than 6 strikers in the squad yet they are closing in to add another in the form of Benteke to amplify the quality of strike-force. As per the provided BBC link, the Belgian international will cost 32.5 million pounds.
After paying the massive price tag, there is no way Benteke will be kept out of the starting XI. Moreover, If Sturridge is fit, it will be hard to keep him out as well because he has the quality to regularly score goals.
Having signed the likes of Milner and Firmino, the lone striker formation suits Liverpool where BR can fit majority of his playmakers. However, here is how we believe Liverpool will line up if both Sturridge and Benteke start.

Mouth-watering though;IMO,lfc will be better off playing the 4-4-2 diamond if the duo(CB & DS) are fit.Here,Can will be deployed in his preferred midfield role as a deep lying midfielder.This will also allow Milner and Henderson to utilise their tireless work rate to press the opposition into their own half as well as shutting them down each time they attempt an attacking move.With either Coutinho or Firminho slotting in the hole just behind the two strikers,Liverpool will once again send jeers into the spine of opposing teams.THE SET-UP WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:
BENTEKE. STURRIDGE
FIRMINO/COUTINHO
HENDERSON. MILNER
CAN
MORENO. SAKHO. SKRTEL. CLYNE
