The big news from Newcastle’s line-up is that Elliot Anderson starts his first Premier League game.
The 20-year-old replaces Joe Willock as Eddie Howe’s only change from last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
Willock had suffered a hamstring problem and is not involved today ahead of next Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk makes his first start since January 2 after recovering from injury.
The Dutchman is the only change Jurgen Klopp has made after Monday’s convincing 2-0 win over Merseyside rivals Everton.
Joel Matip has to settle for a place on the bench with Klopp preferring to keep Joe Gomez at centre-back.
