Mo Salah and Wataru Endo play their final games before heading off on duty to the African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup with Egypt and Japan respectively.
A win for Liverpool will see them move three points clear of Aston Villa at the summit of the Premier League table.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Gomez, Endo, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Nunez, Diaz.
Subs: Kelleher, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Elliott, Jota, Gravenberch, McConnell, Quansah, Bradley.
