Liverpool vs Newcastle - Premier League (18/19 - Game 19)

[Fosterbloke]

Can’t see Keita starting or being on the bench following his injury against Wolves.

Apparently he's available for Newcastle. He's made for games like this.

[BigChief]

It's amazing that the star man we've chased for nearly two years (Keita) is still fighting for his place in midfield.

Assassin's team looks strong enough to do the job.

Didn't realise he was fit for the game.

Didn't realise he was fit for the game.

Actually he's in full training so I assumed he was available. Fingers crossed!

Jürgen Klopp is hopeful Trent Alexander-Arnold and Naby Keita will be available for Liverpool’s Boxing Day clash with Newcastle United at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold has resumed full training after missing the Reds’ last two matches due to a foot issue sustained against Napoli earlier this month.

Keita, meanwhile, was forced from the field during Friday’s 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, but the rib and foot injuries he picked up during the contest are not serious.

Klopp told his pre-match press conference at Melwood: “Trent is back in training, in full training. We will see.

“Nothing new [on Keita] because it is pretty early, [but] nobody said to me so far he cannot train. I expect him back in training.”

Elsewhere, Klopp reported no other fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of Newcastle, though confirmed Joe Gomez and Joel Matip remain sidelined.

[SB]

I’d keep Fab as the anchor & have Gini & Hendo with him, or Shaq I suppose could be in consideration

[Fosterbloke]

Rest Robertson, Milner at left back, Camacho at right back.

[frank the tank]

Nah. Rest Robertson if we are winning th game well then bring him off. Same with our front trio. Time to crank the pressure up on city

Have to keep the pressure up on City 100%.

4 subs if we are winning - good tactics there. Thinking outside the box.

[frank the tank]

Not what I meant obviously......

There are about 6 players that if they are 85% + fit, then I think they need to start in the league games. Alisson, Virgil, Robertson and front trio

[SB]

If Bobby is knackered we could play Shaq or Studge in the No 10 spot & keep him on the bench for if needed.

Really wish this was on telly after the trauma of yesterday.
