Curtis Jones Starts, Gomez on the Bench…
In a surprising twist, Liverpool’s lineup against Newcastle includes Curtis Jones stepping in for the injured Jeremie Frimpong, with Joe Gomez taking a well-deserved break on the bench like he’s just run a marathon while carrying the team. Alisson stays loyal between the sticks, guarded by the dynamic duo, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk in the center, with Milos Kerkez holding his ground like a stubborn garden gnome at left-back.
Up front, Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Cody Gakpo are ready to pounce, looking sharper than a porcupine in a barber shop. Meanwhile, coach Arne Slot compared playing Newcastle to facing off against caffeinated kangaroos, alluding to their legendary intensity and unique ability to bounce back. Newcastle’s recent stalemates and Liverpool’s win bring an intriguing mix as both teams take the field, with fans ready for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
