Liverpool face Newcastle United on Saturday in what is yet another must-win game for the Reds as they attempt to hunt down Manchester City.
The Merseyside club have been unbeatable as of late, and another win in the Champions League on Wednesday means that the quadruple is well and truly on the cards for the Reds.
However, the Premier League is a different kettle of fish, and this weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be taking on one of the form sides in the division.
Indeed, Newcastle will be no pushovers here. The Magpies have been the second-best team in England on form in 2022, and if the Reds are to get a win here, they’ll have to be at their best.
With that in mind, we’re going to have a go at predicting Liverpool’s starting XI for this one.
We think that the German will make three changes from the side that beat Villarreal in midweek.
Joel Matip has been one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted players this season, so he comes back into the side, while the rest of the back five remains the same.
Naby Keita comes in for Jordan Henderson after a string of brilliant performances in domsetic competitions, while the imperious Fabinho and the man of the hour Thiago start alongside the Guinean.
Sadio Mane has shifted position slightly as he moves back out to the left wing, while Luis Diaz makes way for Diogo Jota who returns to the side up front.
Mohamed Salah once again starts on the right as Liverpool look to leapfrog City.
