Team News: Lucas Leiva returns for Liverpool

Lucas Leiva returns to the Liverpool first team for today's match against West Bromwich Albion.

The midfielder missed the 2-2 draw with Newcastle to attend the birth of his daughter, and replaces Victor Moses.

That means that Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez continue in attack.

Steve Clarke, meanwhile, opts for the experience of Nicolas Anelka instead of Saido Berahino.

Former Everton forward Victor Anichebe and Stephane Sessegnon complete Albion's front line.

Liverpool: Mignolet; Johnson, Cissokho, Toure, Sakho, Skrtel; Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson; Sturridge, Suarez

West Bromwich Albion: Myhill; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Yacob, Mulumbu; Amalfitano, Anelka, Sessegnon; Anichebe
