Newcastle v Liverpool, 12:45
A lot of the talk leading up to this game has been about the history of silly goal-scoring in the matches they’ve contested, and for Liverpool also the continued struggles of Mario Balotelli and the potential for all that turning around after a goal in the cup midweek. Both managers would obviously love a win today, but for Newcastle a few recent victories have pushed them up and away from the relegation zone into a bit of comfort, while their guests are desperate not to be left behind by the emerging top four at this early stage.
Papiss Cisse is “touch and go” for Newcastle, while Cheick Tiote and Mike Williamson are doubtful, with both having missed the last two games through injury. Liverpool defender Jose Enrique will miss out with a knee injury, joining Daniel Sturridge, Mamadou Sakho, Suso and Jon Flanagan on the bench.
