Liverpool welcome Newcastle United to Anfield in the midweek showdown with Jurgen Klopp’s side eyeing another win to maintain their rich vein of form.
The Merseysiders picked up their first win of the new campaign last time around in a thumping 9-0 scoreline against the league’s new boys AFC Bournemouth with a solid display on all fronts.
Liverpool will be keen to build on the nine-goal success when they play hosts to Eddie Howe’s Newcastle outfit with the Reds hoping to close the gap at the summit of the league table.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, head into this contest away from home turf on the back of a 1-1 stalemate against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
