How would you like Newcastle to line up against Liverpool on Sunday?

Newcastle United will bring their 2019/20 Premier League campaign to a close on Sunday when they take on champions Liverpool at St James' Park.

The Magpies achieved Premier League survival with plenty of room to spare, but Newcastle are without a win in their last five league matches and Steve Bruce will be keen to arrest that form and end the season on a high.

The problem they face is they will have to beat the newly-crowned champions, who are going in search of 99 points, to do so.

Bruce will also have to deal with a number of injury problems as well.

Newcastle will again be without five senior centre-halves with Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, Ciaran Clark, Florian Lejeune and Paul Dummett all on the treatment table.

Bruce opted to play full-backs Emil Krafth and Danny Rose at centre-half alongside Federico Fernandez at Brighton but Krafth is a doubt for the visit of the Reds.

Under-23s defender Kell Watts is available to make his debut for Newcastle and Bruce must decide whether to throw the talented youngster into the side or whether to use Isaac Hayden as an emergency centre-back.

The former Arsenal midfielder and Sean Longstaff could be fit to return to the starting XI on Sunday and aside from the defensive crisis, Bruce has a plethora of options to choose from in midfield and up front.

So how would you like Newcastle to line up for their final game of the 2019/20 season?
