Ward replaces Adam Bogdan, who is removed from the squad, while Caulker and Teixeria replace long-term injury duo Joe Gomez and Danny Ings.

There’s still no place for Jose Enrique in the squad, and somewhat surprisingly no Jon Flanagan either.

Liverpool return to Europa League action later this month against German side FC Ausburg. The first leg of their round of 32 tie takes place away on Thursday, 18th February, with the return leg back at Anfield a week later (25th February).
