The home team made only one change to the side that drew 1-1 away to Hamburg, with Maximilian Arnold making way for Perisic.
Juergen Klopp made four changes to the side that drew with rivals Bayern Munich last week, with Lukasz Piszckek, Mats Hummels, Sven Bender and Reus all handed places in the starting line-up.

Bayern Munich 3:0 Augsburg Bayern Munich enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Augsburg in the champions' last home game of the Bundesliga season.
There was a carnival atmosphere at the Allianz Arena for the last home fixture of coach Jupp Heynckes' reign and there was a danger that relegation-threatened Augsburg may spring a surprise and spoil the party.
However, three second-half goals put paid to that despite the visitors having good spells of pressure throughout the first period.
Diego Contento dropped to the bench for the home side along with Luiz Gustavo and Anatoliy Tymoschuk, while Jerome Boateng and Rafinha were left out of the squad completely.

The hosts took an early lead through Christian Benteke before Lampard levelled after 61 minutes, while Ramires and Benteke were dismissed either side of half-time.
Villa looked set to hold on for a valuable draw but Lampard struck late to write his name in the history books and cli
