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

Wilson and Barnes off the bench...

Better depth than almost every club in the league. Europe won't be an issue.

    Just need another CB and their 2nd string looks fine to me
    
    Dubravka
    Livramento Lascelles ? Hall/Targett
    Anderson Longstaff Willock
    Murphy Wilson Barnes
    
    Rumours of Anderson from Palace joining. Would push Schar into the 2nd string...
    
    Liverpool's backup midfield is horrendous in comparison...

Another demonstration of how Newcastle can't challenge for title with this front 3.

Shd be out of sight against a 10 men pool for so long without van dink but only leading through a howler

Isak is a risky pick right? You never know who will start and there are bunch of mid priced option out there ( wissa, jackson, watkins, ayoniwi, alvarez)
