This will be an interesting one we all know how Rafa will keep it tight and try to snap a point.

We should go full strength here and rotate when we face Porto.
3 points is a must and I'm confident we will get them.

The return of Rafa. I wonder what reception he will get.
The weather might have an effect on the game, but we need to be winning our home games.

Prediction 2-0

Few weeks before i had a glitch this may end up a draw however with the way our thrilling three are ticking i feel we have enough firepower to despatch them.

I want Rafa to do well at Newcastle and keep them up but for tomorrow i hope we smash the ***** out of them.

Newcastle are a dreadful team. We should win this easy. I'm going for 4-0 

Welcome home Rafa, always a pleasure to see him on tv, in the papers, happy when he's doing well, concerned when he's not. Forever one of us, a future ambassador for the club I hope.

4-0 will do, sorry Rafa mate!

Lol. You're defo a WUM.

We are 2/9 on to win and should come out with 3 points but Im still not quite over us serving up the odd dodgy performance or defensive calamities just yet.

We know Rafa likes to keep things tight but when I have seen Newcastle away they have a go in the early part of the game and got in front, but faded as the match wore on and lost.

We may see a proper fist fight first 30 mins and hopefully a good game in a fixture that usually is decent match.

Should be a highly entertaining game.
Line up (As usual), probably :

Karius
Alex-Arnold Matip VVD Robertson
Can wjnaldum Milner
Salah firmino Mane

Maybe he'll play oxlade-chamberlain instead of Milner etc, but Klopp always plays the same team and formation, more or less,  regardless.

Could be a high scoring affair, I doubt Rafas team will be enough to cause us serious problems, as he does not have a big budget as Mike Ashley is a tight fisted muther fcker.

Rafa will get the right reception, no question about it. I'd like to see that lad Manquillo get a few rounds of applause as well, if he plays. Kid went through brick walls when he played for us.

As for the game, I'm feeling confident we'll beat them easily, which is usually a bad sing

Rafa, Raphael, Rafa, Raphael!!

This ain't looking easy... Rafa has set up his team very compact in the middle, as usual...

Both Can and Henderson in midfield are not the most creative, I reckon Gini or Milner would have been a better option

Stale 20 mins so far.

Newcastle have been very organised thus far...hard to break down but we are slowly creeping away
