Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak misses out on facing Liverpool in the Premier League today because of a minor groin injury.

Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon also start, with a possible midfield trio of Joe Willock, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes.

Sven Botman, the Newcastle center-back, misses out despite nearing a return.

"We need to play close to a perfect game," Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said during his pre-match press conference.

"I think learning from the recent game against Manchester City would be a useful starting point for us, where we didn't execute the aggressive game plan that we wanted.

We are going to need to start the game well — we have to be aggressive, have a threat in the game.
