Newcastle United are looking for a third win in four matches.

Title contenders Liverpool are targeting an eighth straight Premier League victory, which would take them back into top spot ahead of Manchester City's meeting with Leicester City on Monday.

Team news

DeAndre Yedlin (groin) is a fresh injury concern and could miss out for Newcastle.

But Rafa Benitez is able to call on both Jamaal Lascelles and Ayoze Perez, who have recovered from a stomach and hip problem respectively.

Liverpool's Naby Keita will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a groin injury against Barcelona, while Jurgen Klopp will assess the fitness of Roberto Firmino.

Newcastle have won their last four home league matches in the month of May, scoring 13 goals and conceding just one.

The Magpies have won six of their last seven PL home matches, netting at least twice in each victory.

Liverpool can win a third successive PL match against Newcastle for the first time since a run of four straight victories between November 2007 and May 2009.

After a run of six PL matches without a goal, Mohamed Salah has scored four in his last four.
