Rafa Benitez takes on his former side as Liverpool face Newcastle in a Premier League encounter on Sunday. Benitez's Newcastle has the chance to leapfrog the Reds if they can pull off what would be a famous home victory at St James’ Park.
Benitez will be facing Liverpool for the first time since guiding Newcastle back in the league.
The Magpies have Aleksandar Mitrovic back from suspension, although the striker is unlikely to start with Joselu expected to remain in the side, while Florian Lejeune returns from the ankle injury he suffered on the opening weekend of the season.
Liverpool are still without long-term absentees Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Lallana, but Sadio Mane returns from suspension and is almost certain to start. Jurgen Klopp will want to see his side record an important victory after earning just one win in their last six matches.
