Predicted Line-Up
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Joelinton, Guimaraes, Miley; Almiron, Isak, Gordon
Liverpool gears up for their New Year's Day clash, the team faces a significant challenge with six key players ruled out due to injuries. Kostas Tsimikas, Ben Doak, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, and Andrew Robertson will all be unavailable for the upcoming game. Additionally, there's uncertainty about Alexis Mac Allister's participation as he undergoes assessment for a knee injury, making a starting role unlikely.
Wataru Endo, who impressed in the number six position in December, is expected to retain his role. Managerial decisions might see the return of Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate, and Luis Diaz to the starting lineup after being benched in the previous match.
Newcastle, on the other hand, continues to grapple with an extensive list of injured players. Nick Pope, Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Jamaal Lascelles, Elliot Anderson, Javi Manquillo, Joe Willock, and Matt Targett are all sidelined. Joelinton has been declared fit to be on the bench after a hamstring concern.
Manager Eddie Howe faces decisions regarding the starting XI, considering the potential inclusion of Joelinton and the option to swap Dan Burn for Tino Livramento. The physicality of Burn could be a strategic choice against the formidable Virgil van Dijk.
Both teams are navigating their injury challenges as they approach the New Year's Day fixture, adding an element of uncertainty to the upcoming match.
