Key Men

Newcastle United

Alexander Isak will be Newcastle’s best hope for a goal this weekend. Both Fabian Schar and Sven Botman need to be at their best if they are to restrict the opposition from scoring during the 90 minutes.

Liverpool

Alisson Becker can expect a busy afternoon, so he needs to make some solid saves at the back if the Reds want to come away with a clean sheet from St. James’ Park.

Both Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz will be given the license to stretch the pitch out on the flanks so that Liverpool can create enough chances to win this clash.
