Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newcastle United

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United.

Liverpool will be looking to make it eight straight wins in all competitions when they welcome Newcastle United to Anfield in the Premier League on Thursday night.

The Reds beat Aston Villa 1-0 on Saturday to move onto 37 points from 16 matches, which has left them in second position in the Premier League table.

Jurgen Klopp's side are currently one point behind leaders Manchester City in England's top flight and just one ahead of third-placed Chelsea, with all three teams seemingly involved in the title race.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Newcastle, who face a battle to remain in the league this season.
