Jurgen Klopp Liverpool Pre-Match Newcastle EPL

Nick Pope’s Carabao Cup final dream went up in smoke as Liverpool put themselves back into the race for the top four with a 2-0 win at Newcastle.

The England goalkeeper was dismissed 22 minutes into a pulsating Premier League contest at St James’ Park for handling the ball outside his penalty area and will be suspended for Sunday’s clash with Manchester United at Wembley.

Newcastle’s hopes of extending their unbeaten league run to a club-record 18 games had taken a hit earlier in the game as goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo inside the opening 17 minutes gave the visitors an comfortbale lead.

Liverpool remain the only side to beat Newcastle in the league this season and ruthlessly exploited the space behind central defenders Fabian Schar and Sven Botman to run out 2-0 winners.

Victory saw Jurgen Klopp’s side move just six points behind their fourth-placed opponents with a game in hand.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

48 mins: There’s been no further changes from any of the managers. Nick Pope has been sent off for Newcastle so Martin Dubravka replaced Elliot Anderson to take up the goalkeeping position for the hosts.

Sean Longstaff takes a knock to the head in a collision but is okay to play on.

Second half: Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

Newcastle get the match restarted at St. James’ Park. Sven Botman works the ball over to the left wing where is bounces kindly for Alexander Isak.

He takes the ball into the box, lays it off then nods down the pass when it comes back to him. He’s looking for Kieran Trippier but Alisson is off his line quickly to smother it.

HT Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

There’s talent and skill in Newcastle’s team. All the players will want to impress and earn a spot in the Carabao Cup final team next week.

Miguel Almiron, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Alexander Isak will all be hoping to score in the second half. If Newcastle score next they could get something from this game despite being down to 10-men.

Liverpool’s defending hasn’t been great so far.

Loris Karius could start Carabao Cup final amid Newcastle goalkeeper crisis

Loris Karius could make his Newcastle United debut in the Carabao Cup final after first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope picked up a red card in the Premier League.

Pope was sent off for handling outside his area in Newcastle’s match with Liverpool, meaning he will be suspended for the final at Wembley against Manchester United next weekend.

Second-choice goalkeeper Martin Dubravka played for Manchester United in the competition’s earlier rounds while on loan at Old Trafford, so he is cup-tied and cannot play for another club.

It leaves Newcastle manager Eddie Howe with a choice of Karius or fellow back-up option Mark Gillespie.

Half-time: Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

45+4 mins: That was a 45 minutes that could not have gone much worse for Newcastle. After starting well and looking the most likely team to open the scoring Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez combined to cut the home side in half and opening the scoring

A second Liverpool goal quickly followed as Cody Gakpo double his tally for the Reds before Nick Pope succumbed to a moment of madess and got himself sent off.

Still, it’s not all bleak for Eddie Howe’s men. Allan Saint-Maximin and Dan Burn have both come close to scoring but they’ll need to get the next goal if they hope to achieve a remarkable comeback.
