Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to his Liverpool side as he looks to win for the first time in three matches.

After a bright start to his spell at Anfield, Liverpool have struggled in recent weeks.

The German manager has ditched his striker-less formation and will start raw talent Divock Origi up front on his own.

Two other changes have been made from the poor defeat at Watford, the returning Dejan Lovren in for Martin Skrtel, who is injured, and Simon Mignolet returns in goal with Adam Bogdan dropping to the bench.

For top of the table Leicester City, Claudio Ranieri continues with the side that has served him so well.

One change has been made with Robert Huth, who was suspended last week, coming in for Marcin Wasilewski at centre-back.

The rest of the side is as expected.

TEAMS:

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino, Origi

Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Benteke, Lucas, Allen, Teixeira, Randall

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Mahrez, Kanté, King, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy

Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Kramarić, Ulloa, Dyer, Wasilewski, Inler.
