Eddie Howe gave no updates on Alexander Isak or reported transfer bids, stating his focus was solely on preparing the match. Wolves rejected a reported £50m Newcastle bid for striker Jrgen Strand Larsen. Newcastle named the same starting XI that drew 0-0 with Aston Villa, with Jacob Ramsey on the bench. Liverpool made two midfield changes, bringing in Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch. Jeremie Frimpong is injured and Alexis Mac Allister is absent for personal reasons. Frimpong's right-back role could be filled by either Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai. Kick-off is scheduled for 8pm UK time.
Sky Sports get Eddie Howe on the mic, and immediately ask if there are any updates on the Alexander Isak saga. No, absolutely nothing to update you with, unfortunately, he straight-bats. What about Newcastle's reported 50m bid for Wolves striker Jrgen Strand Larsen? I'm not going down well here, am I, because I've got nothing to tell you on that! I've been preparing the game and I've had no updates on anything the focus for me is purely on this game as I think you'll understand.
Liverpool make two changes in the wake of their emotional 4-2 victory over Bournemouth two Fridays ago. Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch come into the midfield; Jeremie Frimpong is injured, while Alexis Mac Allister is missing due to personal reasons. Frimpong's place at right back will be taken by either Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai.
Things tend to happen when these two meet. Newcastle United's first domestic trophy in 70 years, to pluck one random example out of thin air Liverpool 1-2 Newcastle: Carabao Cup final as it happened or the 3-3 thriller in this fixture last season or the most famous Premier League match of them all, rendered here in retro style and all of this is before considering the summer transfer saga which continues to rumble away. Once more with feeling, then. Kick-off is at 8pm UK time. It's on!
