Team News: Divock Origi leads Liverpool line against Leicester City

Divock Origi leads Liverpool line

Divock Origi has been chosen to lead the line for Liverpool against Premier League leaders Leicester City this afternoon.

The Belgian striker gets the nod over fellow countryman Christian Benteke to spearhead the attack as Jurgen Klopp makes three changes to the side that were beaten 3-0 at Watford last weekend.

Origi comes in for Lucas Leiva, while further back Simon Mignolet is back in goal in place of Adam Bogdan and Dejan Lovren returns to cover the loss of Martin Skrtel.

As for Leicester, Claudio Ranieri is able to welcome back Robert Huth in central defence after the German sat out the 3-2 win at Everton through suspension.

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, Kante, King, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Kramaric, Ulloa, Dyer, Wasilewski, Inler
