[Teams] Stoke City vs Liverpool: Confirmed Line-Ups

Liverpool take on Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium this afternoon looking for a win to move back into the top four.

The Reds dropped to sixth following wins for Everton and Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday but they can leapfrog their rivals once again into four with all three points at Stoke.

Brendan Rodgers is able to call upon the services of Daniel Sturridge with the striker back on the bench for the first time in over five weeks. Glen Johnson is fit enough to start at right back while Kolo Toure starts alongside Martin Skrtel in defence with both Daniel Agger and Mamadou Sakho still unavailable.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Stoke

Butland, Cameron, Shawcross, Wilson, Pieters, Walters, Nzonzi, Adam, Whelan, Arnautovic, Crouch

Subs: Sorensen, Muniesa, Pennant, Palacios, Etherington, Shotton, Ireland.

Liverpool

Mignolet, Johnson, Cissokho, Skrtel, Toure, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Suarez.

Subs: Ward, Kelly, Ibe, Aspas, Moses, Sturridge, Alberto.
