      Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino join forces in attack for Liverpool as they take on Newcastle United in the Barclays Premier League this afternoon.

      The pair return to Jürgen Klopp’s side at St. James’ Park as the boss makes six changes from the XI that started the midweek win at Southampton.

      Nathaniel Clyne, Jordon Ibe, Simon Mignolet and James Milner also come in as the Reds seek a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions.

      Confirmed #LFC team v @NUFC: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Lucas, Allen, Milner, Ibe, Firmino, Benteke

      Confirmed #LFC subs v @NUFC: Bogdan, Toure, Henderson, Sturridge, Lallana, Origi, Randall

      What's happened to Teixera? I would have thought a game like this would be perfect for him or Chiravella to be on the bench.

      Fair play to Allen, he was excellent in midweek and he's kept his spot. He's never going to be the answer for us I don't think, but I hope he builds on it today.

      No couts, sturridge, hendo or lallana. Going to be a lot more difficulty than I thought.

      Would have started with Sturridge personally but at least he is on the bench if needed.

      Good attacking team with a bit of pace, plenty of strength and hopefully a goal or two.

      Same, I can gaurentee Benteke will miss a few between goals. He'll score but for everytime he scored 1 Sturidge would have had a 2 or 3.

      We have a decent team out here and I am glad Allen is getting a chance to show he deserves it after last game. Our bench is probably one of the strongest we have ever had in the premiership.

      That bench put 5 past Southampton so we definitely have a plan b if needed (not that I think we will).

      Should be an easy 3 points, but never take anything for granted, football can be a funny game !!

      Great for Klopp to have a great selection of players to choose from, keep your feet firmly on the ground lads and come away with a very sweet 3 points, just feel that Benteke will have a stormer today with a hatful of goals  :D

      We should have enough to wipe the floor with them but even if we are struggling, to be able to call upon Sturridge, Origi, Henderson and Lallana from the subs and actually have players who can change and impact a match is very pleasing.

      3-0 for me.

      Come on boys!

      EDIT: Hang on, Mclaren is playing a 4-4-2 with his best player benched in Ayoze Perez and using the laziest striker in the league up top. I'm changing to 5-0.

      Can't complain about the team really. In an ideal world Sturridge would have kept his place but we've got to easy him back in, hopefully another half an hour from the bench for him.

      Good that Klopp starts with Ben, let him tire the  Newcastle's defence and bring on Stur to finish the job.

      Confidence is sky-high, team selection was pretty much nailed on. Ibe looked class when he came on on wednesday an starts ahead of Lallana, Henderson and Sturridge perhaps still not at 100% but wouldn't be suprised if both came on if we're struggling.

      Can't really argue that any of the players don't deserve to start, perhaps people may feel unsure of Allen and/or Benteke starting but they've certainly done enough in the past couple of weeks to stake a claim, its a good problem to have.

      Expect us to be aggressive in our intensity yet again and I'm thinking 3-0, would be nice to get a clean sheet but ultimately 3 points and another good attacking performance is good enough, up the reds.

      Disappointed to not see Origi or Danny playing here. That said the team we have put out should still comfortably beat the Toon.

      Come on Redmen. Need the 3 points.

      I would have started Sturridge,Benteke misses to many chances,and is not mobile enough,should still have enough to beat these,but i can't see it being a cricket score,2-0 to the Mighty Reds.

      If it were me, I'd have gone with a diamond midfield of Lucas, Allen, Milner, and Firmino with Origi and Benteke up top. Ibe is the surprise inclusion for me.
