Sturridge starts, Toure in defence – Confirmed Liverpool lineup vs. Newcastle

Jurgen Klopp again rings the changes for today’s home match against Newcastle United.

There’s a first league start at Anfield for right-back Connor Randall after he made his league debut away to Bournemouth last week.

Kevin Stewart starts again in midfield, joined by Joe Allen.

Kolo Toure starts alongside Dejan Lovren, with Mamadou Sakho not in the squad pending a drug related charge from UEFA.

There are five changes from the side that thrashed Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.

Without Divock Origi, Klopp opts for Daniel Sturridge up front, with Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana in support.

Philippe Coutinho is on the bench.
