Liverpool aim to move back within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City when they welcome Newcastle to Anfield this evening (20.00).
The Reds have been in imperious form and won their past seven matches in all competitions after edging past Aston Villa 1-0 at the weekend.
Jurgen Klopp’s men, who sit second in the table, will certainly spell blood against the Magpies.
Eddie Howe’s arrival has failed to spark an upturn in form, with Newcastle languishing 19th in the table and were thrashed 4-0 by Leicester last time out.
Liverpool won’t take anything for granted and know they need to be at their absolute best to deliver three points.
But with the busy festive period around the corner, Klopp could be tempted to make several changes to his starting line-up and give some of his players a rest.
Here is how we think that the Reds will line-up against Newcastle tonight.

2. Right-back - Trent Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool will be looking for the England international to provide plenty of creativity down the flank - like he normally does. Photo: Clive Brunskill/Getty Image
3. Centre-back - Joel Matip
Speculation about the defender coming out of retirement to represent Cameroon at AFCON was scotched by Klopp. How Liverpool would miss Matip if he did depart during January as he’s been in brilliant form. Photo: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
4. Centre-back - Virgil van Dijk
One of the first names on the team sheets. Will have to be on his toes to nullify Callum Wilson. Photo: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
