Liverpool play host to Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon looking for a much-needed victory in their bid to finish in the top four of the Premier League table.
After 24 hours of off-the-field distractions, Jurgen Klopp's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds United on Monday night, keeping the club behind the likes of West Ham United and Chelsea.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news before they welcome the North-East outfit to Anfield.
