[Teams] Liverpool vs Sunderland: Confirmed Line-Ups

Liverpool will look to get their top four push back on track when they take on Sunderland at Anfield this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp isn’t at the stadium as he’s suffering from suspected appendicitis but no doubt the German coach has had plenty of input in to the team for today’s game.

Joe Allen comes in to the side with Lucas Leiva dropping to the bench while Dejan Lovren keeps his place alongside Mamadou Sakho at the back.

Roberto Firmino leads the line up front while Daniel Sturridge is named among the substitutes despite Klopp insisting at his press conference that the striker wouldn’t be involved today.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Liverpool

Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Allen, Lallana, Milner, Firmino.

Subs: Ward, Toure, Benteke, Sturridge, Lucas, Ibe, Flanagan.

Sunderland

Mannone, Jones, van Aanholt, O’Shea, Kone, Kirchhoff, Cattermole, M’Vila, Khazri, Watmore Defoe.

Subs: Pickford, Brown, Rodwell, N’Doye, Johnson, Toivonen, Yedlin.
