Newcastle United welcome Liverpool to St James’ Park in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Eddie Howe will demand a response from his inconsistent side after dropped points to struggling West Ham and Crystal Palace over the past week. After losing at home to the Hammers, Newcastle conceded a last-gasp equaliser to draw with Palace at the weekend.
Those results leave the Magpies 11th in the Premier League table, though just four points separates Newcastle from the Champions League places.
However, the visit of the runaway Premier League leaders will prove a difficult test as Newcastle look to get their season back on track. Liverpool extended their lead in the title race to nine points after a 2-0 win over Manchester City at the weekend and have won seven consecutive games in all competitions.
Newcastle vs Liverpool – Predicted lineup and team news
Newcastle team news
Eddie Howe confirmed that Alexander Isak has not trained in the build-up to the game and the Swedish striker is a doubt due to a hip problem. Isak could join defenders Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth as absentees for Newcastle. None of that latter trio are expected to return before the New Year.
