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

Having a poor start on the back of a poor season but trying not to panic. My plan was to use 2 FTS then WC. I now wonder should I just do rashford to Maddison for this team and save 2 FTS for ib

Pickford (turner)
Chilwell estu gvardiol Henry (kabore)
Salah saka Maddison exe(chuckwu)
Haaland Jackson (Pedro)
Pickford eze Pedro need to go but don't want to take hits. Cheers.
