Newcastle United welcome Liverpool to St. James’ Park this weekend for their latest Premier League clash.

The Magpies are currently ninth in the table with nine points from their first six matches and they will be quietly confident of upsetting Jurgen Klopp’s men today if they play to their full potential..

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez knows his former club well and while the Magpies have had a hit-and-miss start to the new campaign, they have the players to ensure all three points stay on Tyneside this afternoon.

Liverpool are sixth in the league as things stand two points better off than Newcastle. And while they have been brilliant in an attacking sense this season, their defensive performances have left a lot to be desired.

As a result, this match really could go either way, especially if Newcastle find a way to get the upper hand early on and keep Liverpool’s brilliant attacking options relatively quiet.

Here is how the two teams will line up this afternoon in what should be an exciting encounter:
