Daniel Sturridge starts as Liverpool make just one change for this afternoon’s Premier League clash with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The striker comes into the line-up to replace Jordan Henderson, who is ruled out due to a heel injury sustained against Manchester City in the Reds’ last outing two days ago.

It’s Sturridge’s first start since the EFL Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on October 25.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Firmino, Sturridge. Subs: Karius, Moreno, Lucas, Origi, Stewart, Alexander-Arnold, Ejaria.
