Newcastle United travel to Merseyside aiming to end a run of three straight defeats and win a Premier League game away at Anfield for just the second time.
Eddie Howe, though, still has a number of injury problems to contend with when his side faces off against Jurgen Klopp’s table toppers.
Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes are still a few weeks away from their respective returns whilst Jamaal Lascelles isn’t expected to be fit for Monday night’s game.
Their disappointing defeat to Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day may force Howe into a rethink of his starting XI, but with limited options at his disposal, will he be able to tweak too much?
Here, we take a look at the starting XI that Howe could name when Newcastle United face Liverpool at Anfield:
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
