Newcastle United and Liverpool have confirmed their starting line-ups for this afternoon's Premier League fixture.
Matthias Jaissle takes charge of the hosts in the Premier League for the first time as Newcastle look to move on from a difficult summer which has seen the departure of some key players along with former manager Eddie Howe.
Their opening assignment sees them take on a Liverpool team who will be led by Andoni Iraola for the first time after the former Bournemouth boss moved to Merseyside in June.
Newcastle are without the services of injured captain Dan Burn, but Lukas Hornicek, Amar Dedic and Sean Steur all make their league debuts.
There is no place in the starting eleven for Nick Woltemade as William Osula and Yoane Wissa are preferred in attack.
Jeremy Jacquet makes his Liverpool debut alongside Virgil van Dijk in defence and there is a start for former Newcastle hero Alexander Isak up front.
