Team News
Liverpool were victorious in their last outing vs Bournemouth, wining the contest 3-1 on the back of Diaz, Salah, and Jota scoring.
Alexis Mac Allister, the midfielder’s red card against Bournemouth overturned on appeal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will be available for the trip to St James’ Park but Ibrahima Konate is a doubt. Klopp explained that the 40 minutes Liverpool played with ten men against Bournemouth last Saturday “didn’t help” anyone’s fitness but at least the player that was sent off, Alexis Mac Allister, will be available after the club successfully appealed his ban.
Neither Curtis Jones nor Thiago Alcantara will feature alongside Mac Allister in midfield but the World Cup winner may not be awkwardly shoehorned into the defensive pivot role again. After a week to bed in to his new surroundings, Wataru Endo could be handed his first Liverpool start on Sunday.

WHAT A GOAL FROM NUNEZ!!!
What a win. Fucking hell. Well done Darwin
Absolutely incredible
Damn, vice captain let up a goal, captain gets sent off 2 mins later. Still feel the win coming though
You believed! Props to you thinking the win was on
I’ll celebrate a draw after that first half.
How about now!!
Please join every match thread and make winning predictions 😁
I’m definitely celebrating and a little mad I have to work tomorrow
I like that feeling you had :)
Word of the day: NUÑEZ!
NUNEZ AGAIN!!! UNBELIEVABLE
Harvey and Trent were the last two off the field today applauding our fans.
Gotta love both their passion. And (at least in the second half in Trent’s case) they both did great
Lovely, just lovely! And I haven’t seen a so happy team after a game for a long time :)
Agreed. The team was buzzing! Rightfully so
Wow. I’m speechless
NUNEZ!!!
what a rescue, I bet he is the most hated man in New Castle right now
You’re just a shit Andy Carroll was the chant haha
Really excited for the game today. A win takes us to the top of the table!
That depends on the city result (they are likely going to win).
Fair point. I thought City played tomorrow
Incredible comeback
That was a horrible first half… Hoping for someting positive in the second🤞🤞.
Very nervy start. Need to start controlling the center.
Endo getting the start. Let’s goooo!
Macca getting to play further forward too. Let’s go! I think it’ll be 3-1 to us
I wish we could plan more for counter attacking against the best teams. Don’t mind the high counter pressing against worse teams, and in periods against better teams. But it seems a waste to have one of the best counter attacking teams in history, and don’t utilize that more consciously.
