Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Newcastle, Diogo Jota starts

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has named his starting line-up for tonight's Premier League clash against Newcastle United at Anfield.

The Reds are already 11 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. They have an opportunity to extend the gap with a victory if the Gunners drop points at Nottingham Forest.

Ahead of the game, Slot has made two changes from the 2-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last weekend.

Alisson Becker continues in goal for the Merseyside giants.

The backline sees one change with Kostas Tsimikas replacing Andy Robertson. 

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate complete the defence.

There are no changes in central midfield with Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister keeping their places in the starting XI.

Mohamed Salah starts in his regular right wing position with Luis Diaz on the left flank. Dominic Szoboszlai will operate as the no.10.

Diogo Jota has got the nod to lead the Reds attack against the Magpies. Curtis Jones has made his way to the bench for Jota's return.

Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-3-3): Becker; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
