Newcastle United host Liverpool this afternoon in the final match of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 3.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

The Magpies, who finished fourth last season but lost twice to Jurgen Klopp’s side, are unchanged.

That means Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson are on the bench again, with Miguel Almiron, Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak preferred up front.

As for Liverpool, Diogo Jota is a substitute as Klopp makes two changes to his starting XI.

Ibrahima Konate misses out with a muscle problem, with Joel Matip and Waturo Endo coming in.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Almiron, Gordon, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Livramento, Lascelles, Targett, Barnes, Anderson, Murphy, Longstaff, Wilson

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Endo, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Diaz, Gakpo

Subs: Kelleher, Quansah, Gomez, Tsimikas, Bajcetic, Elliott, Darwin, Doak, Jota

  Hit Botman's backside went one direction and then flicked off his heel into Darwin's path, so maybe why the assist wasn't given.

Do feel that Darwin’s lack of English is putting him in a tough place to nail a starting spot. Hopefully he learns the language soon. Pool will be so dangerous with a clinical finisher like him secured up top

I know a lot of you have Turner and Onana. Surely you’ll take a chance on Onana making a lot of saves vs Arsenal? I mean, if you’re keeping those two at all

Have to feel for Newcastle, Trent should have got a second yellow, the ref influenced the game again for not doing his job, I know VVD went but that doesn’t make what happened to Trent right.

Pickford,
Chilwell, Shaw, Estupiñán, Gvardiol
Salah, Saka, Martinelli, Rashford
Haaland, Wissa

Turner, Osula, Chukwuemeka, Baldock

1 FT, 0.5m ITB

Cash saved me this GW but would you start him away to Pool in GW4 ?

The options I'm considering are

A) Baldock to Gusto (bench Cash)
B) Salah & Chukwuemeka to Sterling and Maddison (bench Cash) -4
C) Martinelli to Sterling (play Cash)
D) Save FT (play Cash)

I'm leaning towards B because it potentially saves me from WCing over the international break.

Does Luis Diaz start next GW? Just Gakpo out for Darwin, otherwise forward line should stay the same? Wondering whether I should take a hit to drop Diaz if he won’t be starting

  IMO Diaz can play in a midfield 3 a bit like what Gakpo was doing and leave that left attacking spot for Jota. Jota is a lot more complete as a forward, he can drop, hold the ball, play the decisive pass and score goals, Diaz is a player to brake the lines, to disrupt the shape playing a lot 1v1s and shooting himself. He can't play side by side with Darwin and makes Salah a worst asset as well. But the German God knows better what can we do.
