Shortly after Liverpool takes on Galatasaray in the Champions League, attention will then switch to a glamor tie between Newcastle and Barcelona at St James' Park.

Eddie Howe's men lost to the Spanish giant earlier this season, but will be hoping to get a positive result to take the Camp Nou in the second leg this time around. Newcastle will be without Bruno Guimaraes as a result of an injury, but the likes of Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, the latter of whom scored against Liverpool earlier this year, should be able to cause some damage.

Hansi Flick's team is hoping to go a long way in the tournament and is on the kinder side of the draw. Marcus Rashford, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal supplying Robert Lewandowski means it is a possibility.

What has been said?

Eddie Howe was coy in his pre-match press conference regarding the fitness of Tino Livramento. However, he was clear that this is a huge game for his team.

"For me, it is, and that's very much the mentality it needs," Howe said. "Rising to the occasion and embracing the size of the game — I think these are things that have helped us this season, and we're looking for the same again.

"I think the underdog role, to a degree, in my time here has helped us at times. When we've been in that position where we feel the odds are stacked against us.

"We're going to need to use every psychological tool we can to help us in this game, because it's undeniable that we're playing a very, very good team.

"They are an outstandingly well-coached team I have to say as well, from having watched them thoroughly in preparing for both games, as we have done. They're a top team."

On Livramento, he added: "He probably hasn't done enough training for me to feel 100 per cent confident that he's in that best physical moment, especially when it's such a big game, to start.

"But he's in our squad, and anyone who's in that position is in contention to play. It's a delicate balance with Tino at the moment.

"He trained again this morning and he trained again on Friday and is in good spirits. He's in a good place.

"He's a massive player for us and it's great to have him back. Obviously, I've got to try and get the team selection right."
