Confirmed – Liverpool's Starting XI Formation vs Sunderland

Liverpool face Sunderland today at the Stadium of Light and have the chance to move within three points of league leaders Chelsea for the time being.
This will be Sadio Mane’s last game for the Reds before leaving for the African Cup of Nations. The Senegalese international starts with the likes of Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge in the attack.
The former Chelsea striker has normally warmed the bench and starts his 5th game of the Premier League this season.
The England international has replaced captain Jordan Henderson in the starting lineup. Hendo suffered an injury against Manchester City and is not part of the squad against the Black Cats.
In the absence of Jordan, Adam Lallana has moved back into the midfield and will partner the likes of Can and Wijnaldum in the center of the park. The German international is expected to start in the holding midfield role today.
Here is Liverpool’s confirmed starting XI formation vs Sunderland.
