Fixture: Liverpool vs Middlesbrough
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Liverpool have officially confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to host Middlesbrough in a crucial final Premier League fixture.

The Reds know that taking all three points against the already relegated Boro would guarantee a top four finish and Champions League football at Anfield next season.




Liverpool won the earlier fixture between the two teams 3-0 this season and will start as big favourites to record another victory in a crucial fixture.

Boss Jurgen Klopp has Simon Mignolet between the sticks, while the centre-back pairing is Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren. The Reds have Nathaniel Clyne at right-back and James Milner at left-back. In midfield, Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum will look to dominate, while Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge are the attacking threat.

If Klopp needs to try to change the game he can turn to Lucas Leiva as an experienced head, while Divock Origi is also available.
