Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino are set to start at the expense of  Divock Origi as Liverpool fight to secure Champions League football against Middlesbrough.

With pre-match doubts surrounding star striker Roberto Firmino’s fitness, Jurgen Klopp has opted to go with the Brazilian and in-form Daniel Sturridge in strike with Divock Origi dropping to the bench.

The Reds are expected to maintain their 4-4-2 diamond formation as Klopp spoke about continuing to play Coutinho in a midfield role. Apart from the attack, the rest of the side remains as the same as Liverpool push for a place in next season’s Champions League.
