Newcastle United will travel to Anfield on New Year’s Day aiming to bounce back from a disappointing festive period which has seen them lose three games in a row and exit the Carabao Cup.
The Magpies have just one Premier League win at Anfield and will head to Merseyside with a clutch of injury issues to deal with.
Liverpool, meanwhile, ended a run of back-to-back draws with a win over Burnley on Boxing Day and are unbeaten at home so far this season.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of Newcastle United’s Premier League clash with Liverpool:
1. Joel Matip - out
Matip has been ruled-out for most, if not all, of the season after rupturing his ACL against Fulham.
2. Thiago Alcantara - out
The Spaniard underwent a hip operation in April and is yet to feature for Liverpool this season.
3. Stefan Bajcetic - out
Bajcetic impressed against Newcastle United back in February but won’t feature against the Magpies this time around. The Reds are being cautious with his reintroduction into the first-team after a calf injury.
4. Andy Robertson - out
The Scotland international is facing a few more weeks on the sidelines after suffering a shoulder injury.
