Newcastle
Newcastle's Etihad evening went from bad to worse when Joelinton was taken off with an injury in the second half, although Howe confirmed on Friday that the Brazilian should be good to go for the weekend.
Either Sean Longstaff or the up-and-coming Elliot Anderson will vie to start in Joelinton's place should the midfielder fail to make the cut, while Emil Krafth (ACL) and Joe Willock (thigh) are also out of contention, but Javier Manquillo (groin) is back in training.
Despite his telling contributions off the bench against Villa in gameweek one, Harvey Barnes lost out to Anthony Gordon for the left-wing spot against Man City, but Howe should consider bringing the former Leicester City man in from the start here.
New signing Lewis Hall should also throw his hat into the ring for a debut this weekend, but Dan Burn will be expected to hold the fort at left-back for now.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Barnes
Liverpool
As mentioned, Mac Allister's controversial sending off in Liverpool's success over Newcastle has now been overturned upon appeal, meaning that the Argentine is free to slot into his usual place in the Reds' midfield, where Endo could also come in for his first Premier League start.
Neither Curtis Jones (ankle) nor Thiago Alcantara (hip) will be ready just yet, while Ibrahima Konate has also emerged as a fresh doubt, but Klopp has reassured Liverpool fans that Trent Alexander-Arnold is good to go following an injury scare last week.
Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are ready to be called upon if Konate is not given the green light, while Klopp has insisted that Mohamed Salah remains "100%" committed to Liverpool amid Al-Ittihad's desperate attempts to prise him away from Merseyside before the transfer window shuts.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Diaz
Newcastle vs Liverpool prediction
Newcastle might have been disappointing against City but have been so strong at home and have the tools to punish a Liverpool team no one is quite sure about defensively.
Prediction: Newcastle United 2-2 Liverpool
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Newcastle wins: 50
Draws: 44
Liverpool wins: 91
