Jordan Henderson makes his first league start since August in Liverpool's home game against West Brom today. The Reds captain has struggled with a heel injury this season.
Before kick-off, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp stressed he is not looking to recruit a new striker in the January transfer window.
The Reds are once again without the injury-plagued Daniel Sturridge after he was ruled out for a number of weeks by a hamstring problem sustained last weekend, while fellow frontman Danny Ings (knee) is sidelined for the rest of the season.
The strikers available to Klopp are Christian Benteke, scorer of five goals in all competitions since his summer move from Aston Villa, and Divock Origi.
The manager also mentioned forward Roberto Firmino - a summer signing with one goal for the club to his name so far - on Saturday as he insisted he was content with the options he already has.
"It is a situation I can work with," the German said ahead of Sunday's Premier League game against West Brom.
"And if you take a new player, a striker, who can help you immediately, and then when the day comes and Daniel is back in the race and maybe better than before, more confident, fitter than before, then we would sit here and talk about all the problems we have with all these players that are not playing and so on.
"So I am not like this, sorry."
