LIVERPOOL’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will be a certainty to start between the goalposts for the visitors to St. James’ Park with no changes expected to be made in the defence guarding the Brazilian.
With Virgil van Dijk on course to return to full fitness, Joel Matip could once again find his centre-back partner in Joe Gomez while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson operate in the full-back roles.
