Liverpool travel to St James’s Park having played in a Champions League semi-final against Villareal in midweek.
The Reds won in comfortable fashion on Wednesday, however, with the second-leg just around the corner, there could be some rotation from Jurgen Klopp for this weekend’s clash on Tyneside.
Here, we take a look at the potential Liverpool team that could be selected by Klopp for their clash with Newcastle United:
