Pick your Liverpool team to face Newcastle United in the Premier League

Liverpool acheived their first Premier League win of the season on Saturday as they demolished Bournemouth 9-0 and are hoping to follow that up as they host Newcastle on Wednesday.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Jurgen Klopp reflected on the massive win at the weekend and is wanting his players to keep playing in the same way. The Reds boss said: "The scoreline was a freak. Doesn't happen a lot. We played a good game, everything worked out.

"The boys are not dumb, we don't expect a freakish scoreline again for obvious reasons. What I want to keep is the way we played. We played this [before] just didn't score nine."

As Liverpool prepare for their midweek game against Newcastle and the Merseyside derby this Saturday, they were handed a triple boost as three injured stars returned to training on Monday. Klopp is also hoping to see Diogo Jota back in training from Thursday with Thiago Alcantra returning slightly later.
