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

Liverpool will aim to build on their timely Merseyside derby victory when they resume Premier League duties away to Newcastle United on Saturday evening.

Jurgen Klopp's men posted a long-awaited first league win of 2023 against bitter rivals Everton on Monday night, where strikes from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah did the damage in a 2-0 triumph.

The Reds remain mired in mid-table obscurity in ninth place, but with games in hand on Fulham and Brentford - whom they could overtake in favourable circumstances - the European charge is very much still alive.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Magpies, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth at the weekend.
