Liverpool are preparing for their Premier League meeting against Newcastle at Anfield on Thursday.

The Reds are currently flying high in all competitions and will hope to make it eight wins in a row.

Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League table, in the Champions League knockouts, and in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

On Thursday, Jurgen Klopp’s charges face a team who could soon become a superpower but is currently in relegation trouble.

Newcastle have serious financial muscle behind them following their takeover, but are 19th in the standings.

Klopp has been putting his players through their paces ahead of the game, and Tyler Morton was once again involved in first-team training.

The 19-year-old is the talk of Anfield and Kirkby after wowing against AC Milan in the Champions League.

“I thought Tyler Morton was outstanding in midfield,” Jamie Carragher told CBS Sports – via Metro – post-match.

“He was fantastic, for a teenage player, playing for Liverpool who are one of the biggest clubs in European football and your home town club, in the San Siro.”

Morton wasn’t in the squad against Wolves and Aston Villa, but was pictured in training on Tuesday grappling with Ibrahima Konate.

With Liverpool set for a glut of fixtures over the festive period, Klopp is likely to rotate his squad.

And Morton has certainly proven he has what it takes to shine for the Reds at the highest level.
