Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be playing for Liverpool on Sunday after he was taken off after picking up an injury during the defeat to PSG. Ibrahima Konate was also substituted during that game, but Slot has confirmed that was just fatigue and the Frenchman is expected to be available. Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton all remain sidelined.

Anthony Gordon is suspended for Newcastle following the red card he was shown against Brighton in the FA Cup earlier this month. Lewis Hall’s ankle injury has ruled him out of the rest of the season, while Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles also won’t feature. Newcastle are set to bring the intensity as they look to make history and end their long wait for a trophy.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Diaz, Jota

Predicted Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes
