Liverpool have named an unchanged line-up for this afternoon’s Premier League encounter with Sunderland at Anfield.

The Reds field the same team that took to the field against Southampton at St Mary’s one week ago, with Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum retaining their berths to partner Jordan Henderson in midfield.

Daniel Sturridge is not included in the matchday squad due to a tight calf.

Meanwhile, there are places on the bench for Academy prospects Ben Woodburn and Ovie Ejaria.

Liverpool: Karius, Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Milner, Henderson, Can, Wijnaldum, Mane, Coutinho, Firmino. Subs: Mignolet, Moreno, Origi, Klavan, Lucas, Ejaria, Woodburn.
