Stoke v Liverpool – Confirmed lineups: Three star players return after missing Chelsea clash

Liverpool take on Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium tonight hoping to return to winning ways after holding reigning champions Chelsea to a draw last weekend.

The Potters meanwhile are without a win in their last three games and find themselves in 15th position in the Premier League table.

Liverpool drew 1-1 against reigning champions Chelsea on Sunday and know a victory could take them into the top four.

Jurgen Klopp has decided to start with three star names who missed the Blues clash.

Emre Can, Sadio Mane and Firmino have all got the nod after recovering from injury.

Can was expected to miss the tie but passed a late fitness test.

Meanwhile, Dejan Loven failed to recover in time for the match and has not made the squad.

Captain Jordan Henderson has been benched, Coutinho, Salah and Milner will not start either.
