Liverpool may have entered the international break without a win in their last two matches - but there is still plenty of optimism that they can finish inside the Champions League places this season.
The Reds currently sit sixth, seven points behind fourth-place Tottenham, but Jurgen Klopp's men do have two games in hand on their rivals. As do Newcastle, although they are much closer to Spurs and will also fancy their chances to finish inside the top four.
With the international fixtures looming, Klopp will be keen to get all of his players back fit and injury-free ahead of the run-in. One player he won't have to worry about, however, is Alisson, who was left out of the Brazil squad. His teammate Ederson has since spoken about his absence.
