Lions head coach Farrell was understandably delighted with his side's eight-try 54-7 victory of Western Force at the weekend that started the main Down Under part of the tour with a bang.
With three more matches to go until the First Test, Farrell will again run the rule over his potential starters, with probable first-choice half-back pairing Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell in from the off. Captain Maro Itoje also returns as one of five English starters, with Tommy Freeman given another chance to impress on the wing.
The Lions beat the Reds 22-12 when the teams met on the 2013 tour, while older hosts fans will remember a 15-11 victory in 1971. There are nine full Australia internationals in the XV Les Kiss, who will take over the Wallabies from Joe Schmidt next year, has picked. Flanker Fraser McReight, scrum-half Tate McDermott and fly-half Tom Lynagh aren't among them as they have Australia duty against Fiji this coming weekend.
Here's how to watch Reds vs Lions live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free.
