The line-up Jurgen Klopp would use that has Newcastle fearful for Monday's game.

Klopp very thoughtful

Liverpool host Newcastle United to open the 2024 Premier League season in what looks set to be an important game for both sides. Liverpool are once again one of the giants of the Premier League, but they will face a Newcastle side that never makes things easy. This could be Jurgen Klopp's first line-up for 2024. Alisson is available after suffering a muscle injury that has sidelined him for the last three games, and he will be back in the starting line-up for the Reds in goal.

ALEXANDER-ARNOLD- Will be Liverpool's right-back. He is not at his best as a Red, but this year he seems to have taken a step forward. His pace, ability to get forward and solid defensive performance have made him a key player. QUANSAH - Youngster Jarell Quansah will start at centre-back in place of Matip, who will be out for several months after suffering a knee injury. Klopp is currently backing Quansah in his place.

Robertson will miss the clash after suffering a shoulder injury that will keep him sidelined. It will be Joe Gomez's turn. ENDO - Jurgen Klopp has been forced to make changes in midfield and will start Japan's Wataru Endo. This will be his fourth Premier League start for the Reds. SZOBOSZLAI - This is the most exciting player of this new Liverpool. His vision, ability to create chances and accurate shooting give Liverpool a constant threat in midfield.

The possible forward line

GRAVENBERCH - The midfield will be completed by Ryan Gravenberch. The 21-year-old is in his first season with Liverpool and is biding his time for a Premiership goalscoring debut, having already found the net in the Europa League. SALAH - One of the world's most lethal strikers. His ability to unbalance opposing defences with his pace and dribbling, as well as his goalscoring ability, make him a constant threat in attack. He would be joined up front by Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.
