Liverpool host Oldham Athletic on Sunday afternoon in the third round of the FA Cup.

It is the third season in a row that Liverpool have faced Oldham in this competition, with Liverpool winning the first match before Oldham gained revenge last season in a shock win.

Liverpool come into this game on the back of a comfortable home victory over Hull City on New Year's Day, while Oldham suffered a home defeat against Shrewsbury Town.

Liverpool have doubts over Glen Johnson (calf), while Joe Allen (groin), Sebastian Coates (knee), Jose Enrique (knee), Jon Flanagan (hamstring), Mamadou Sakho (hamstring) and Daniel Sturridge (ankle) miss out.
