The Magpies will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment at The King Power Stadium on Sunday but will have their work cut out against a strong Liverpool side who are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season.

7. RWB: Javier Manquillo

8. CDM: Isaac Hayden
Could return to the side to provide some much needed cover in front of the defence. Photo: Ian MacNicol
