Back on the road but Arne Slot’s side have been near perfect on their travels so far this season, with the 2-2 draw at Arsenal the only away game they’ve failed to win across all competitions.

Meanwhile it’s been a stop-start season for the Magpies. They looked to be back on track with victories over the Gunners and Nottingham Forest, but a surprise loss at home to West Ham and a draw with Crystal Palace has halted their progress.

With the race for European qualification so tight at present, Newcastle can move into the top half of the table with a win coupled with results elsewhere going in their favour.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool team news

Alexander Isak is yet to train ahead of the game after suffering an injury against Crystal Palace.

Jamal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Sven Botman remained sidelined with longer-term injuries.

Liverpool will be without Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas for the trip to Tyneside.

Alisson Becker is closing in on a return but will not be rushed back into action.

"I think I have been clear a few weeks ago about what my position is about our goalkeepers, but we are just waiting for Alisson to be completely fit because Caoimhin is doing too well to put Alisson on goal if he's only 50%," Slot told on Tuesday.

"That would not be good for Alisson and it would not be good for the team. He's getting there, it might take a few more extra days, but he's getting closer.

"Like I've always said, the end phase of a rehab is always the period where you feel like 'okay, is he really there or does he need extra days?' But he will be in goal before the end of December if things continue like they are now."

Newcastle United vs Liverpool prediction

Newcastle have tended to raise their game against the so-called ‘bigger teams’ in the league having beaten Tottenham and Arsenal in addition to drawing with Man City at home.

However, Liverpool are on a roll at the moment and it’s difficult to look past them especially with Mohamed Salah in the form he’s in.
