On Monday night, Newcastle United and Liverpool will face each other at St James' Park, and Al-Bawaba News has published the predicted lineups for both teams.
Newcastle United's predicted lineup for the match includes Nick Pope in goal, with Matt Targett and Kieran Trippier as full-backs, Fabian Schar and Dan Burn as centre-backs, and Sven Botman and Emerson Royal as wing-backs. In midfield, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joe Willock are expected to feature, with Elliot Anderson and Jacob Murphy as potential options off the bench. Upfront, Eddie Howe's team will likely field a front three of Chris Wood, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Callum Wilson, with Alexander Isak's future with the club still uncertain.
Liverpool's predicted starting XI for the game against Newcastle United includes Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, and Kerkez as the defenders, with Szoboszlai, Fabinho, and Thiago Alcantara in midfield. The attack will be led by the formidable trio of Salah, Wirtz, and Gakpo, with Darwin Nรบรฑez and Diogo Jota as potential substitutes. Alisson Becker will be in goal for the Reds.
Newcastle United is still seeking their first win of the season after a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa, while Liverpool's defense has been vulnerable, with just one clean sheet in their last 10 competitive matches. Liverpool's scoring streak could soon break records, as a goal on Monday would equal their all-time record of 36 consecutive scoring games in top-flight football.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United has not scored in their last three league matches, raising concerns ahead of facing Liverpool. Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, has had to adjust his attack due to Isak's absence, and it remains to be seen how they will fare against Liverpool's formidable defense.
