Faustino Asprilla is in the house!
He knows a thing or two about this fixture. He scored Newcastle's third in that famous 4-3 at Anfield in 1996.

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveI think Harvey Barnes was warming up a moment ago. Just sit down again mate.
I'd be amazed if Anthony Gordon came off with the way he is playing right now.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool
Anthony Gordon is the main man here for Newcastle. He is allowed to cut in from the left and run to the edge of the box but he is always at risk of slicing a shot travelling at that pace, which is exactly what happens. His shot flies wide.

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe changes have made a difference. Before them, Liverpool could not hold the ball. They have got players that can do that now, what a difference it has made.

The Reds get the ball in the box but Joe Gomez can only head wide. Not a man renowned for his goalscoring prowess.

Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt looks like Jota is going to play as high up as he can and Mohamed Salah isn't going to be getting back as an advanced midfield player. They're going for it.
