Team news: Origi leads the line on Boxing Day

There are also returns to the starting line-up for Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet, as Jürgen Klopp opts to make three changes from the team that suffered a 3-0 defeat to Watford last weekend.

Lovren replaces the injured Martin Skrtel after overcoming a fitness issue of his own, while Mignolet is restored having recovered from the hamstring issue that saw him miss out on the defeat to the Hornets.

Origi, meanwhile, is handed his third league start for the club after appearing as a first-half substitute last time out.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Coutinho, Lallana, Origi, Firmino.

Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Benteke, Lucas, Allen, Teixeira, Randall.
