Liverpool team news v Newcastle: Konate returns as Slot makes big right-back call in 2 changes

The Liverpool starting XI to face Newcastle at tonight has been named.

The Reds are hoping that the last day of January will bring it with their first Premier League win of 2026, having followed up four successive draws with a damaging defeat away to Bournemouth last weekend.

However, Arne Slot’s side go into this game buoyed by a midweek 6-0 thumping of Qarabag in the Champions League, a result which ensured they’ll avoid the knockout play-off round into which the Magpies now go in February.
