Sunderland v Liverpool

Sunderland pair Victor Anichebe and Lamine Kone are major doubts after suffering hamstring and hip injuries respectively against Burnley.

Jason Denayer is also doubtful with a hamstring injury, while Billy Jones is serving a one-match suspension.

Liverpool could be without captain Jordan Henderson against his former club after he suffered a heel problem during the win over Manchester City.

However, manager Jurgen Klopp has no other fresh injury concerns.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

Steve Bower: "Liverpool ended 2016 still in touch with Chelsea and it's imperative they begin the new year in similar fashion.
