Liverpool must play their fifth Premier League match in 15 days when they take on Newcastle United at Anfield.
The Reds are just one match away from completing their grueling February schedule. In the span of two weeks, Liverpool dropped points against Everton, defeated Wolves, dropped more points against Aston Villa and dominated Manchester City. Arne Slot's men now must host Newcastle before enjoying a week's rest ahead of the Champions League round of 16.
The last time Liverpool and Newcastle squared off, they each settled for a 3–3 draw. Now, with the two sides set to meet in the Carabao Cup final on Mar. 16, they must first clash in the Premier League with three points on the line. A victory for Liverpool could see the Reds maintain their hefty lead atop the table.
Cody Gakpo returned in Liverpool's 0–2 win over City at the weekend and is available to start in Wednesday's fixture. The injured Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton remain sidelined.
Here's how Liverpool could lineup vs. Newcastle on Feb. 26.
