Our third game in seven days pits the Reds against a team currently lying second from bottom in the table, and there'll be a determination among Ole's men to end a taxing run on a high.
Jesse Lingard joined the injury list with a hamstring problem in the closing stages of Thursday's Europa League draw with AZ Alkmaar, leaving the Reds down to 10 men for the final few minutes. The boss has already confirmed the winger is unlikely to feature this weekend as a result.
Speaking ahead of the stalemate with AZ, Ole has already indicated that the Tyneside encounter will probably come too soon for Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial, even if they are making progress in terms of their return, while Paul Pogba looks set to miss out with an ankle problem.
