Newcastle could go third in the Premier League if the Magpies can earn a third successive home win in all competitions against arguably the toughest possible visitors on Wednesday (8.15pm GMT).

Liverpool are unbeaten away in the top flight this season and will hope to end the evening with their current 11-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal increased.

The Gunners’ game at third-placed Nottingham Forest kicks off 45 minutes before the action begins at St James’ Park.

Liverpool lineup vs Newcastle

Liverpool are still without the injured trio of defenders Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez and midfielder Tyler Morton, but forward Cody Gakpo is back to play a part after his substitute appearance at the Etihad.

Gakpo is on the bench, while Andy Robertson drops out with Kostas Tsimikas starting at left-back.

Liverpool starting XI: Alisson Becker, Kostas Tsimikas, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Luis Díaz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota

 

Newcastle lineup vs Liverpool

Newcastle are rocked by the news that striker Alexander Isak is unavailable. He’s not in the squad at all so Callum Wilson gets a rare start up front.

Sandro Tonali is available again after the playmaker came on during their 4-3 home win over Forest on Sunday, while defender Sven Botman remains out.

Centre-back Jamaal Lascelles and attacker Joelinton are still out.

Newcastle starting XI: Nick Pope, Lewis Hall, Dan Burn, Fabian Schär, Tino Livramento, Joe Willock, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, Anthony Gordon, Callum Wilson, Jacob Murphy
