Liverpool team news: Matip and Lovren fit to start at Leicester

Liverpool are able to field their strongest pairing in the heart of defence as Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren have overcome knocks to start at Leicester City.

The centre-backs sat out Tuesday night’s 2-0 defeat against the same opposition, which saw the Reds crash out of the Carabao Cup.

The former Schalke man nursed tightness in his hamstring from last weekend’s 1-1 home draw with Burnley, while the Croatian had a back issue.

Emre Can

Emre Can, who was also a doubt at the King Power Stadium, starts in midfield with Jurgen Klopp making seven changes to the XI from midweek.
