Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp should be working around the absences of at least four players for Saturday's Premier League contest with Newcastle United at St James' Park.

All of Calvin Ramsay, Ibrahima Konate, Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara will sit this one out, although Arthur is stepping up his recovery from thigh surgery in training and could force his way into the squad should he prove his fitness.

In any case, Klopp will be loath to make changes to the side that overcame Merseyside rivals Everton 2-0 on Monday night, where Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk were all back among the substitutes.

Only Van Dijk should be in with a chance of coming back in here - most likely in place of Joel Matip as Joe Gomez holds his position in front of Alisson Becker.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will bomb down the flanks as ever, while Fabinho continues in the holding midfield role as he aims to put his patchy form behind him.

Thiago's hip injury should see the ever-impressive Stefan Bajcetic and Jordan Henderson also link arms with Fabinho, while Cody Gakpo starts on the left after opening his Liverpool account in the Merseyside derby.

Darwin Nunez was a livewire once again on Monday and ought to start through the middle, as Mohamed Salah searches for the two goals that will see him equal Robbie Fowler's record of 128 Premier League strikes for Liverpool.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo
