Liverpool vs Stoke City preview

The opening match of the new English premier league will be played between Liverpool and Stoke City at Anfield Road.

Brendan Rodgers will not be able to unleash Luis Suarez on the visitors,  but the likes of Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto are ready to make their debut in grand styles.

Simoj Mignolet has replaced Pepe Reina as the team's number one keeper.  The latter has joined Napoli on loan.

Kolo Toure is expected to be on the starting line up. The Ivorian joined the squad at thr end of last season.

Daniel Sturridge might come in as a second half substitute.  The England international resumed full training last Monday.

Mark Hughes will hope his team can get a point in this fixture.  The former Manchester City manager joined the 'Potters' in the summer.  Hughes was unable to get a victory at Anfield during his two year tenure at Manchester City.

Kick off: 11:45 UTC
Prediction: Liverpool 4-1 Stoke City
