Reports of Liverpool’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. After a disappointing start to the season which saw the Reds draw with Fulham and Crystal Palace before losing to bitter rivals Man Utd, Liverpool reminded the footballing world of their quality with a 9-0 demolition of Bournemouth. The side didn’t even need the help of new forward signing Darwin Nunez, who is serving a three-match suspension. 

The unenviable task of playing Liverpool after such a convincing win falls to Newcastle. And while the Magpies may currently be one of five unbeaten teams in the Premier League, that status seems destined to expire very soon. Not only do the Magpies have to contend with a Liverpool side overflowing with confidence, but Newcastle are also enduring an injury crisis. Key players Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin all miss this fixture, so new record signing Alexander Isak starts up front. 

Liverpool have title challenging ambitions this season, and after such a poor start to the season (by their own high standards), nothing but another three points will do here. Newcastle can give anyone in this league a game, but when Liverpool are switched on they verge on unbeatable. Newcastle’s depleted squad might just have to settle for keeping the score lower than Bournemouth managed. 

Here's how they line up:

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Diaz

Newcastle: Pope; Trippier, Lascelles, Targett, Burn; Willock, Longstaff, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Fraser
