Darwin Nunez is still suspended for the Reds, who will also miss the services of Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita due to injuries.

Liverpool top picks and players to watch vs Newcastle United Premier League 2022-23
Roberto Firmino: Liverpool’s no. 9 was impeccable against Bournemouth in their last Premier League match, scoring two goals and making three assists to open his account for the season. Firmino will be key for the Reds considering Mohamed Salah’s patchy form this season.
Luis Diaz: The Colombian winger has been consistent for Liverpool since his signing in January 2022. Diaz is looked at as a long-term replacement for now-departed Sadio Mane and the 25-year-old has begun the season with three goals in four Premier League matches.
Newcastle United top picks and players to watch vs Liverpool Premier League 2022-23
Miguel Almiron: The 28-year-old has been a key player for the Magpies after his then club-record €24 million move from the MLS in 2019. Almiron scored in Newcastle United’s 3-3 draw against Man City this season and his progressive dribbling and playmaking abilities will be key for the visitors at Anfield.
Kieran Trippier: The right-back has been in good form at the start of the new Premier League season. Trippier scored from a free-kick against Manchester City and has averaged 1.3 key passes per match this season. His ability on set-pieces will be key for the Magpies against Liverpool.
Liverpool vs Newcastle United Premier League 2022-23 prediction
Liverpool were rampant in their last Premier League match and are once again overwhelming favourites at Anfield. The Reds are expected to comfortably beat Newcastle United.
The Magpies have recently struggled against the Reds and with injuries to Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin, Newcastle United are the underdogs in this fixture.
