Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson have been ruled out of Newcastle United's match at Liverpool with the line-ups for the match being confirmed.
Eddie Howe has made two changes to the side that were beaten 3-1 by Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day with Trippier's absence seeing Tino Livramento come in at right-back. Miguel Almiron has dropped to the bench in place of Joelinton, who returns to the starting line-up after a minor hamstring injury.
Jamaal Lascelles is also back with the squad after missing the Forest match due to a minor muscle injury. The Magpies skipper is back on the bench.
As a result, Newcastle's midfield three of Lewis Miley, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes remains the same. Martin Dubravka continues in goal with Livramento, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn as the back four.
Joelinton's return to the starting line-up sees him shifted onto the left wing with Anthony Gordon swapping sides. Alexander Isak keeps his place up front.
Here is the confirmed Newcastle United line-up for the match at Liverpool...
6. CM: Lewis Miley
The tests keep coming for Miley who could feature against Liverpool for the first time in his career. One of the biggest calls facing Howe on Monday could be whether he selects Miley or Sean Longstaff to start in this position. | Getty Images
7. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Guimaraes was brilliant in the first-half against Nottingham Forest, but much like his team he lost his way in the second period. Liverpool were interested in signing him this summer and the Brazilian will want to demonstrate why he is regarded as one of the best players in his position. | Getty Images
