Liverpool vs Newcastle lineups: Confirmed team news and starting XIs

Liverpool are still without injured duo Alisson Becker and Naby Keita for today's Premier League clash with Newcastle United at Anfield.

Adrian keeps his place in goal as the Brazilian continues to recover from the calf injury he suffered on the opening day of the season that is likely to rule him out for another month at least.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is hopeful midfielder Keita (hip/groin) will return to training next week, while Divock Origi starts in place of Roberto Firmino after the striker's long journey to the US over the international break.

Sean Longstaff is out for Newcastle after suffering an ankle injury in training.

Longstaff was hurt blocking a cross during Thursday's session and is still being assessed, and will join fellow midfielders Allan Saint-Maximin (hamstring) and Matt Ritchie (ankle), striker Dwight Gayle (calf) and defenders Florian Lejeune (knee) and DeAndre Yedlin (groin) on the sidelines.

Frontman Andy Carroll was due to see a specialist on Friday afternoon as he looks to return to full training following ankle surgery earlier this year.
