When Newcastle United visits Anfield on Wednesday, Liverpool hopes to build on its 9-0 victory over the weekend by defeating two injury-plagued teams (Watch live at 3 pm ET Wednesday on USA Network and online via NBCSports.com).
In the nine-star performance, Roberto Firmino scored twice and provided three assists. The Reds' attack also includes Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. However, every other squad member who lost the game has injuries, and Darwin Nunez's high-profile acquisition is currently on suspension.

Although Bruno Guimares, Newcastle's finest player, was absent during the 1-1 draw with Wolves, the team remained unbeaten. This is because Allan Saint-Maximin, who just scored an amazing goal (above), hobbled off the field. It is a lot to ask of Eddie Howe and company to play at what will be a boisterous Anfield without "ASM," Guimares, and Callum Wilson.
major plotlines
Jurgen Klopp has, however, lavished praise on the team while also being very scathing of Newcastle's administration for being "managed by a country." The Magpies won't go unnoticed by the Reds. These are still injury-prone sides, though, and Liverpool has spent enough over the past five years to be considerably more prepared for a run of illnesses than the team previously led by frugal Mike Ashley.
Players to watch that are in good form.
Almost all of the Liverpool players who played in the 9-0 victory are in good form, including Mohamed Salah, who was held without a goal or an assist.
Fabian Schar and Miguel Almiron have been performing admirably for Newcastle. Still, if Saint-Maximin and the brand-new Isak are both out, in addition to Guimares, the club's greatest player, this might be a truly massive boost at Anfield. Good news: Sven Botman has appeared outstanding.
Liverpool's roster options, injuries, and team news
In addition to Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ibrahima Konate, Naby Keita, Calvin Ramsey, Diogo Jota being injured, and Darwin Nunez being suspended, Caoimhin Kelleher, Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, and Joel Matip are also in doubt.
