Jurgen Klopp opts to field a formidable-looking attacking setup for his Liverpool FC side as Newcastle United visit Anfield in what is a must-win game for the Reds to keep their top-four hopes alive.
Mohammad Salah returns to the starting eleven for the hosts after being benched for the Leeds United stalemate earlier this week but Nat Phillps remains unavailable due to a hamstring problem.
The four-man attacking line for Liverpool to bear fruit?
Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are joined by the leading goalscorer at Anfield this season in Mohammad Salah with the attacking quartet expected to hit the ground running against the Magpies and secure all three points to move up the table.
Salah replaces James Milner in the XI from last time around with Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago Alcantara the sole central midfield options for the Merseysiders on Saturday afternoon.
Phillips still injured, Fabinho once again drafted at centre-back
With Nat Phillips still unavailable owing to a hamstring issue, Jurgen Klopp has no option other than to turn to Fabinho as his makeshift central defender alongside Ozan Kabak.
The 23-year-old Phillips has been a revelation since his breakthrough at Anfield midway this season but has been absent for the past week with Fabinho turning up in the heart of the defence for an injury-curtailed Liverpool FC defensive unit.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
