The team magazines are located in St James’ Park, where Newcastle United takes on Liverpool in the kick -off of 8 p.m. tonight.
Our opening house matches of the 2025/26 season, which started with a 0-0 draw in Aston Villa, and the first time that Eddie Howe and Arne Slot have met since our 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final of March in Wembly.
Here are the sides that have been selected when we get closer to the kick -off:
Newcastle XI: (4-3-3) Pope – Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento – Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton – Elanga, Gordon, Barnes
Subs: Ramsdale, Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Osula, J.Murphy, Ramsey, Willock, Osula, Miley
Liverpool XI: (4-3-3) Alisson – Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez – Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Wirtz – Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo
Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Bradley, Chiesa, Leoni, Elliot, Robertson, Ngumoha
It is an unchanged XI of the Gaffer, while we are chasing our first competition gain on Liverpool since December 2015.
Joe Willock is back on the couch after repairing an injury, while Jacob Ramsey is in the team for the first time after training with his new teammates the entire week.
Of course there is no Alexander Isak in the team, as how on Friday confirmed that he will be absent. Will Osula remains the only pointed option on the couch.
And hopefully tonight we will see the first Premier League minutes of the Lewis Hall campaign because he will want to jump back from the seasonal injury he sustained at Anfield last Friday.
In terms of the Liverpool XI, Dominik Szoboszlai arrives for the wounded Jeremie Frimpong, with an interesting fight against Harvey Barnes for him tonight.
Alexis Mac Allister is a remarkable absentee because he becomes a father, which means that Ryan Gravenberch returns to the defensive midfield in his place.
The much hyped Rio Ngumoha makes the Liverpool again a bench, with him and Federico Chiesa two dangerous options for Arne Slot to appeal to late in the game.
It will be a tough match against the title defender, St James’ Park must be electric from the minute. How do you want the boys!
