Sunderland, meanwhile, have been handed a clean bill of health from the squad that faced AFC Bournemouth last time out with Noah Sadiki passed match fit.
Regis Le Bris, though, will remain without longer term absentees अजी अलेसे and Habib Diarra at Anfield.
Leo Hjelde and Dennis Cirkin also continue to build up their fitness after recently returning for the club’s U21s side following injury.
The Black Cats boss, who himself is facing up to seven of his players departing his squad ahead of this month’s Africa Cup of Nations, said: “We have a strong group. We don’t have any (new) injuries and the players who haven’t played much before will have opportunities to play.
“I think they can contribute as well. The group is powerful with different options. We will see.”
On facing Liverpool, he added: “It’s another game in a really special place and atmosphere.
“Even if we have a young team, they now have good experiences and they want to be competitive. Otherwise, we become spectators.
“Liverpool are strong but at the same time, we want to be competitive.”
