Team news, form, and what to watch
Liverpool will be managing injuries as they prepare for the match. Right-back options remain stretched due to ongoing absences, and defensive challenges continue to shape Arne Slot’s selection choices.
There is hope that centre-back Ibrahima Konate might return from compassionate leave in time for this game, offering some much-needed reinforcement.
Slot’s side has struggled for consistency domestically, going several matches without a Premier League win, but they responded with a dominant Champions League performance in midweek.
Newcastle United also have injury concerns, with some regular starters unavailable, though they are expected to field a competitive lineup. The Magpies have shown resilience in recent weeks and will look to disrupt Liverpool’s home advantage.
The clash promises to be competitive, with both managers mindful of momentum and league position as the season progresses.
