This Monday night, Liverpool will host Newcastle United at Anfield in an attempt to win the Premier League all three points at home. The Reds should be extremely confident going into this match after their recent 2-0 victory over Newcastle United.
For this match, Jurgen Klopp will line up his players in a 4-3-3 shape and is anticipated to make some adjustments to his starting lineup. Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, and Ibrahima Konate could all enter the game right away.
4-3-3 Newcastle United vs. Liverpool: The anticipated lineup
Defence
After keeping a clean sheet in his most recent league game, Alisson Becker will start in goal for the Reds. The core of Klopp’s defence, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil Van Dijk, will once again work together to try to hold the opposition’s attackers at bay during the match.
While Joe Gomez looks to make a strong impression as the left-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold will play as the right-back. They will both be granted permission to advance and take part in the assault whenever the opportunity arises.
In order to cover the defensive positions, Jarell Quansah will have to make do with a bench berth.
Midfield
Liverpool’s midfield will consist of Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo, and Dominik Szoboszlai as they look to control possession in the middle of the park and create some clear-cut opportunities in the closing third.
If needed, Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch will have to make do with a bench position while they wait for a chance to have an impact on the game in the second half.
Attack
As the left winger, Mohamed Salah may have one more opportunity to shine while Cody Gakpo tries to work his magic from the right flank. Darwin Nunez will lead Klopp’s midfield assault. The international goal scorer from Uruguay will be itching to score this Monday night following his last goal-scoring display against Burnley.
Diogo Jota is scheduled to start the game on the bench, but if Klopp decides to use him later, he may substitute himself.
