Liverpool have a very short turnaround between their Champions League semi-final clash against Villarreal and tomorrow’s league fixture versus Newcastle.
It means that manager Jurgen Klopp may be forced into making a number of changes to the starting eleven to keep his players fresh.
Alisson is still expected to start in goal, but there could be a change at fullback, with Kostas Tsimikas replacing Andy Robertson on the left-hand side, with Trent Alexander-Arnold keeping his place on the opposite flank.
Despite impressing against Villarreal, Ibrahima Konate may drop out of the starting lineup, with Joel Matip returning to partner Virgil van Dijk in the centre of defence.
It would be a surprise if Thiago plays his fourth game in 11 days so Naby Keita could start instead of the Spaniard. The Guinean may make up a midfield three with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Luis Diaz appears to be the one who is being rotated in and out of the front three currently so he is the likeliest to make way for Diogo Jota, with the Portuguese partnering Sadio Mane and Mo Salah in attack.
Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Face Newcastle:
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Fabinho, Keita, Salah, Jota, Mane
