Daniel Sturridge starts for Liverpool ahead of Roberto Firmino at Newcastle
Liverpool were held to a hard fought 2-2 draw in April 2016, but will Rafa Benitez pull out a win vs. his former club? Jurgen Klopp believes Rafa Benitez's connection with Liverpool won't have an impact on the match.
Daniel Sturridge was named in the starting XI for Liverpool in Sunday's match against Newcastle United, while Jordan Henderson will make his 250th appearance for the Merseyside club.
Sturridge is in line to make his third start of the season and replaces Roberto Firmino, who has been named as a substitute for the encounter at St. James' Park.
