Liverpool vs Newcastle Confirmed Lineups for Premier League Clash
Liverpool Team News
Alisson starts in goal with a back line of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahime Konate, and Milos Kerkes. Dominik Szoboszlai is in midfield with Ryan Gravenberch, and Curtis Jones comes in likely as the last member of the back four. Cody Gakpo, Mo Salah, and Florian Wirtz support Hugo Ekitike up front.
Notable Changes
Summer signing Jeremie Frimpong is absent entirely from the squad as Jones and Gravenberch come in with Alexis Mac Allister also dropping out. Likely to remain a 4-2-3-1 despite the changes.
Newcastle Team News
Nick Pope starts in goal with a back line of Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Tino Livramento. Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joelinton make up the midfield three with Harvey Barnes, Anthony Gordon, and Anthony Elanga leading the line.
Notable Changes
No changes for Eddie Howe who sticks with his usual 4-3-3 approach. Recently injured Joe Willock is fit enough to feature on the bench in some positive news.
