Liverpool v Sunderland teams announced: Klopp names wonderkid on bench for first time

Posted by

For the first time in 40 matches, Jurgen Klopp has named an unchanged Liverpool side in the Premier League.

This means Emre Can and Gini Wijnaldum either side of Jordan Henderson in midfield, with the usual front-three of Sadio Mane, Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Divock Origi, despite Daniel Sturridge’s late withdrawal due to injury, will have to content himself with a spot on the bench, although we think we’ll see him at some point this afternoon, whether we’re winning, losing or drawing.

Notably, Ben Woodburn, only just turned 17, makes the bench for the first time and could earn a debut if Klopp feels the game is over early.
