| Liverpool could dismantle struggling Newcastle with Southampton-inspired performance |
DANIEL STURRIDGE is the surprise omission from Jurgen Klopp's team as Christian Benteke leads the line for Liverpool.
Philippe Coutinho, who has missed the last three matches with a hamstring problem, remains sidelined.
Lucas has replaced the suspended Emre Can, and fit-again Jordan Henderson makes the bench.
And Daniel Sturridge, despite his two goals against Southampton in the Capital One Cup, doesn't start.
Mike Williamson is Newcastle's latest absentee, having suffered a hamstring injury just days after his recall from a loan at Wolves.
