15.12.2002 - Hyypia dropped for Sunderland clash

---

Club Sami Hyypia has been dropped from the team for this afternoon's Premiership clash against Sunderland at the Stadium Of Light. The Finn, who has not been performing quite to the high standards which he's set over the last three seasons, will be replaced by Igor Biscan, who has previously only played Worthington Cup games this season.

As expected, Chris Kirkland remains in goal, while Baros and Owen start up front.

Liverpool: Kirkland, Carragher, Biscan, Henchoz, Traore, Murphy, Gerrard (capt), Hamann, Smicer, Owen, Baros.

Subs:
Dudek, Babbel, Diouf, Riise, Diao.
