Liverpool v Newcastle
Liverpool v Newcastle: probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Illustration: The Guardian

Victory at Tottenham on his last away trip enabled Steve Bruce to lift morale and give the sceptics a weekend off at Newcastle. But that was Tottenham. This is Liverpool, a team that has set a new club record of 13 successive league wins, has not lost at home for 42 league games and can establish a new unbeaten league run under Jürgen Klopp of 22 games on Saturday. Newcastle have not won a league game at Anfield since Rob Lee and Andy Cole scored in a 2-0 victory in April 1994. Sean Longstaff has joined a lengthy injury list after damaging an ankle in training this week. Andy Hunter
