The Reds arrived on Tyneside with a major injury doubt in the shape of Ibrahima Konate, who now misses out in a major blow to the defensive setup.

The buildup to this 4.30pm kickoff has been clouded by claims of interest in Salah from Al-Ittihad – a club, like Newcastle, owned by the Saudi state.

But Klopp and the club are insistent that there is no concern over the future of their No. 11, who could score in his 150th different game for Liverpool today.

Making his full debut, Wataru Endo will take up the No. 6 position, allowing Alexis Mac Allister to join Dominik Szoboszlai further forward

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Diaz, Gakpo

Substitutes: Kelleher, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas, Bajcetic, Elliott, Doak, Jota, Nunez
