Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has named a full-strength side for the Europa League clash against Augsburg.

The two teams drew 0-0 in the first leg in Germany a week ago and head to Anfield for the second leg.

Daniel Sturridge again leads the line for the Reds, with Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino playing off him.

Klopp has made just one change to the team that drew with Augsburg, naming Lucas Leiva in central defence ahead of Kolo Toure.

The German manager has had to name a couple of youngsters on the bench with Brad Smith, Joa Teixeira, Pedro Chirivella and goalkeeper Danny Ward among the substitutes.

TEAMS:

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lucas, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Milner, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge

Subs: Ward, Toure, Benteke, Origi, Smith, Teixeira, Chirivella

Augsburg: Hitz, Verhaegh, Janker, Klavan, Stafylidis, Kohr, Esswein, Koo, Altintop, Werner, Caiuby.

Subs: Manninger, Opare, Parker, Moravek, Bobadilla, Max, Rieder.
