Isak starts! - Confirmed Newcastle team vs Liverpool as Eddie Howe makes 4 changes
The team sheets have been released ahead of tonight's 8pm kick off at Anfield as we prepare to take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
Here's the side Eddie Howe has selected as we bid to maintain our unbeaten start to the season on Merseyside:
STARTING XI: Pope - Trippier, Lascelles, Burn, Targett - Willock, S Longstaff, Joelinton - Almiron, Isak, Fraser.
SUBS: Darlow, Botman, Schar, Lewis, Manquillo, Anderson, Ritchie, Murphy, Wood.
So, there's FOUR changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Wolves last weekend, seeing Alexander Isak make his full debut in Chris Wood's place after our club record signing finally received his work permit this afternoon.
Elsewhere, Jamaal Lascelles and Dan Burn come in at centre-back, replacing Sven Botman and Fabian Schar, while Ryan Fraser replaces the injured Allan Saint-Maximin for his first start of the season.
The Frenchman misses out with a hamstring strain picked up on Sunday, with The Mail's Craig Hope releasing an exclusive just moments that claims he won't be back until our trip to West Ham next Sunday - meaning he'd miss Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.
As expected, Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring), Callum Wilson (hamstring), Emil Krafth (ACL) and Jonjo Shelvey (hamstring) also remain out.
Here's the side Klopp has selected following a 9-0 win over Bournemouth last time out:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Elliott, Diaz, Salah, Firmino.
