Liverpool travel to St James’ Park this afternoon to face Newcastle United looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign and we can now bring you the confirmed lineups for the clash.

Jurgen Klopp’s team have made a solid start to the season with a 0-0 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before the 3-1 win at Anfield versus Bournemouth last Saturday.

The trip to the North East represents Liverpool’s toughest test yet however with Eddie Howe having strengthened the squad that fared so well last season by firing the club back into the Champions League.
