FORM GUIDE

Following the Carabao Cup final, both teams have experienced further good form, as we continue to jostle with the Magpies for the right to play in next season's Champions League.

The Reds have reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, the semi-finals of the Emirates FA Cup and currently sit three points above Newcastle in third place in the league, but have only picked up one point in our last two Premier League fixtures.

Newcastle, on the other hand, were defeated 2-0 by Manchester City in their first match after the Wembley final, but followed that up with consecutive victories over Wolves and Nottingham Forest heading into this one.

OFFICIALS WATCH

Referee Stuart Attwell takes charge of affairs, with Andy Madley on VAR duty, with Michael Salisbury named the fourth official.
