Liverpool edged past Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night – a win that takes them level on points with Manchester United and only five points off a top four position.
Jurgen Klopp went for a side that had done well in the second half vs Leicester City late last week, with Christian Benteke starting up front as our only fit striking option.
Captaining the side was fit-again Jordan Henderson, a player looking to put his injury woes fully behind him.
