Jurgen Klopp has finally been able to field his strongest attack after a 90-day wait with Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana all in the starting XI against Hull City.
The band's back together: Fab Four can restore Liverpool’s beat
The last fixture that saw the explosive quartet operate in tandem was the 6-1 dispatching of Watford on November 6. This is only the eighth Premier League game they have started together, the previous seven producing six victories and a draw as well as 24 goals.
But while the Reds boss is unhindered with his selections in attack, there have been two setbacks in defence with Dejan Lovren nursing a sore knee while Ragnar Klavan is ill. Lucas slots in at centre-back alongside Joel Matip in the absence of the Croatian, while Joe Gomez is named in reserve.
James Milner makes his 50th league appearance for Liverpool and is one goal short of recording a half-century of top-flight goals.
Liverpool starting XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Matip, Lucas, Milner, Henderson, Can, Lallana, Mane, Coutinho, Firmino
Liverpool subs: Karius, Moreno, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Wijnaldum, Origi, Sturridge
