The Reds currently sit eighth in the league table with four points to their name from their opening two games of the season. Jurgen Klopp’s side claimed their first win of the season against Bournemouth last time out.

The fitness of Ibrahima Konate will be checked ahead of this afternoon’s game, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister are both available. However, Reds boss Klopp will be without Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones.

Newcastle, on the other hand, were beaten by Manchester City last time out, but they did claim an impressive 5-1 victory over Aston Villa on the opening day of the season.

Kicking off at 4.30pm, and live on Sky Sports, Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle will both be at St. James' Park to bring you live updates on the action, as well as bringing you team news, analysis and reaction.
