Liverpool XI vs Newcastle: Confirmed team news, starting lineup and latest injuries today

Jurgen Klopp has no fresh injury concerns to contend with ahead of Liverpool's final game of the Premier League season this afternoon.

The Reds will bring the curtain down on a memorable campaign that saw them end a 30-year wait for the title with a visit to St James’ Park to face Newcastle United. And they will do so with just two players unavailable through injury.

Joel Matip (foot) and Jordan Henderson (knee) both expect to be fit for the start of the new season but will be unavailable for this fixture.

Neither Dejan Lovren nor Adam Lallana feature in the squad as they close in on moves away from the club.

Lovren is on the brink of a €12m transfer to Russian club Zenit St Petersburg, while Lallana is attracting interest ahead of the expiry of his contract this summer.

Klopp has also given his fringe players an outing with one eye on the 2020-21 season.

January signing Takumi Minamino makes a rare start, while youngster Neco Williams is also in.

Newcastle: Dubravka, Manquillo, Fernandez, Rose, Lazaro, Shelvey, Bentaleb, Almiron, Ritchie, Saint-Maximin, Gayle

Subs: Carroll, Joelinton, Muto, Hayden, Yedlin, Darlow, Sean Longstaff, Watts, Young

Liverpool: Alisson, Williams, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi, Minamino

Subs: Fabinho, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Adrian, Shaqiri, Jones, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott
