The Reds are trotting out in their customary 4-3-3 formation, with Loris Karius starting in goal behind a back-four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren and Andy Robertson.
Emre Can and James Milner line up in midfield alongside skipper Jordan Henderson while the vaunted trio of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane lining up in attack.

Spurs are playing their usual 4-2-3-1, with captain and keeper Hugo Lloris leading from the goal while Kieran Tripper, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghnen and Ben Davies get the nod in defence.
Eric Dier partners Mousa Dembele in the heart of midfield while the likes of Heung-Min Son, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen give star striker Harry Kane support up top.
Third-placed Liverpool will be looking to get revenge for their humiliating loss at the hands of the Lilywhites earlier this season, but their defensive woes have continued to dog them throughout the whole campaign and may just be their Kryptonite in front of their own fans.
For Jurgen Klopp’s men, a win on Sunday will take them within three points of second-ranked Manchester United and five clear of Spurs, who are currently in fifth.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side, fresh of a 2-0 humbling of Manchester United, will be buoyant and baking themselves to clinch three points as they look to keep their quest to finish in the top-four alive.
Liverpool: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson, Can, Henderson (c), Milner, Mane, Salah and Firmino.
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris (c), Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Son and Kane.
Match kicks-off at 16.30 GMT/2200 IST.
