Newcastle team news: Predicted Newcastle line up against Liverpool – Mitrovic returns
NEWCASTLE are set to welcome back Aleksander Mitrovic when Liverpool visit to St James' Park on Sunday (4.30pm), but who else could start for Rafael Benitez's side?
Who will start for Newcastle during their Premier League clash with Liverpool?
Serbian striker Mitrovic could feature after completing a three-match ban for violent conduct, handed out after appearing to elbow Manuel Lanzini back in August.
Benitez may start the 23-year-old after Joselu’s wasteful performance during the 1-0 defeat to Brighton last weekend, while Jonjo Shelvey also impressed off the bench.
However, central midfielder Shelvey will find it hard to dislodge in-form pair Isaac Hayden and Mikel Merino after three wins in Newcastle's last four Premier League matches.
Scroll through the gallery above to see how Rafael Benitez could set up his Newcastle team as they welcome his former side Liverpool to St James’ Park.
