Confirmed Lineups: Newcastle vs. Liverpool
Alexis Mac Allister returns to the side after Liverpool won an appeal against the red card he was handed during their 3-1 win against Bournemouth last weekend.
Jöel Matip makes his first start of the season as he replaces Ibrahima Konaté who misses out with injury while Wataru Endō makes his full Liverpool debut at St James' Park.

LFC Globe Verdict
The inclusion of Wataru Endō will allow Dominick Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister the freedom to do what they do best in midfield while Jöel Matip has a tough task ahead of him to try and handle Alexander Isak who's started the season off with two goals in two games.
