It’s Liverpool vs Newcastle United tonight at Anfield as they look to make it eight wins in a row. Here’s the confirmed Liverpool lineup for the match.

Liverpool face Newcastle United while in fantastic form but with real problems. There are five absentees here but the Reds confirmed late this evening that Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones and Fabinho will also miss the game with Covid-19 positive tests.

The Reds should face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday but will that game go ahead? Spurs haven’t played for a little while now as Covid-19 continues to affect them. Calls are now coming for games to be suspended – there’s a growing chance this is the last game of 2021.

So we’d be surprised if Liverpool have a game at the weekend, in all honesty, and they can probably go strong with his team against Newcastle. Let’s have a see what Klopp’s gone for, then, in a confusing situation.

A very difficult situation for Klopp here, then. Liverpool will go into this one without their prepared team after those late positive results.

Still, it’s a very strong Liverpool team and one that should beat Newcastle. Let’s see what the fans have to say.

Reaction to Liverpool team

Fans still feel optimistic here, then. As we say, this is still a very strong Liverpool team and we expect it to beat Newcastle. It’ll be tough, given the preparation almost certainly involved Van Dijk and Fabinho.

The Reds should still have more than enough for three points here, though.
