It’s a big game for…
LORIS KARIUS: The German goalkeeper has struggled to keep out of the headlines of late after a number of high profile mistakes and verbal sparring with television pundits. However, here he has the chance to put that business behind him and get Liverpool back to winning ways.
Weird /best stat…
7: Middlesbrough are unbeaten in seven Premier League home matches against Liverpool since a 2-1 defeat in March 2002 (W3, D4).
Remember when…
Liverpool 2 Middlesbrough 2 (14-13 pens) Capital One Cup Third Round 2014
Both teams needed 120 minutes and 28 penalty kicks to separate them but, after Suso dispatched his decisive spot kick for Liverpool, Albert Adomah blazed his effort high and wide to send the Reds through to the fourth round.
Player to watch…
Gaston Ramirez: The Uruguayan is having an impressive season on his return to the Premier League with Boro and could cause a shaky Liverpool defence big problems at the Riverside. His cohesive partnership with Alvaro Negredo gives the home side a real threat going forward.

KICK-OFF TIME: 7:45

49 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 1 SWANSEA 0:
West Brom break the deadlock in the way that West Brom do so well. Salomon Rondon rose highest when Matt Phillips swung a set-piece into the Swansea box, and left Lukasz Fabianski with no chance as he powered his header home. It's a fifth Premier League goal of the season for the Venezuelan striker.
68 mins: GOAL! MIDDLESBROUGH 0 LIVERPOOL 3:
Divock Origi returns the favour of moments ago, and Adam Lallana has his second and Liverpool's third! Finding more joy down the right flank, the Belgian crossed low, two Middlesbrough defenders decided that was as good a time as any to take a nap, and Lallana slotted in.
Best of friends.
Are Divock Origi and Adam Lallana the new Gary Lineker and Willie Thorne?
61 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 2 SWANSEA 0:
A first Premier League double for Salomon Rondon! A beautiful outswinging cross from Chris Brunt found the head of the Albion forward, and he planted a beautiful effort into the bottom left corner.
63 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 3 SWANSEA 0:
A hat-trick for Salmon Rondon! A 13-minute hat-trick for Salomon Rondon! A 13-minute hat-trick of headers for Salomon Rondon! After Matt Phillips was crowded out on the edge of the box, Chris Brunt swung a deep left-footed over which Rondon looped into the top corner past Lukasz Fabianski. Sensational scenes!
63 mins: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 2 HULL 0:
And now Christian Eriksen has a double! The Dane was in the right place at the far post to convert after Kyle Walker had worked his way down the right and centered.
66 mins: GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 1:
James McArthur equalises at Selhurst Park! The home side had been pressing more and more in this second half, and they have their reward. An impudent flick from, of all people, Damian Delaney sent, of all people, McArthur free inside the penalty area. Having escaped from Pogba, the Scot kept his cool and sidefooted past David de Gea from close range.
70 mins: DISALLOWED GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 1:
Manchester United's players are fuming! Seconds after having appeals for a Crystal Palace handball inside the penalty area waved away, they have now had a goal chalked off - and it should have stood! Marcos Rojo headed down for Juan Mata to slide home, but celebrations were immediately cut short by the linesman's incorrect flag on the near side.
