Liverpool v Newcastle - Line-ups, stats and preview
"Liverpool's faltering Premier League defence continued with last weekend's defeat to Bournemouth and now Arne Slot's side host the Magpies in another tricky-looking game. That defeat left the Reds outside of the top four and they cannot afford to lose again, with Jamie Carragher suggesting this week that Slot's future could depend on securing Champions League football. The Reds did have an easy andd morale-boosting win in Europe in midweek but will have seen Newcastle put in a stirring display to draw in Paris."
"As a club we always make decisions, as we at least think smart decisions, so we not only look at the short term we also look at the longer term, that's why we sign very good players but young ones that can still develop. It always depends on are there players available that we think can help us, and if they are, can we afford them and can they also be helpful for the longer-term future"
Arne Slot's Liverpool suffered a Premier League defeat to Bournemouth that left the club outside the top four and needing a result against Newcastle. Jamie Carragher suggested Slot's job security could hinge on securing Champions League qualification. Liverpool recorded a morale-boosting European win in midweek, while Newcastle produced a spirited draw in Paris but have only three away wins this season. Slot described a transfer policy prioritising young, developable players and avoiding squad imbalance, and indicated he does not expect late additions. Defensive injuries have stretched the squad, with Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez absent and Jeremie Frimpong sidelined.
