Jurgen Klopp is so sound he's taking time to pose for selfies with Newcastle fans

The Liverpool manager has made six changes for today’s game.

YOU CAN’T HELP but admire Jurgen Klopp.

The German has made an instant impression since arriving at Liverpool, reviving the team’s fortunes and endearing himself to the Premier League.

Klopp and the Reds are on Tyneside this afternoon as they look to continue their recent resurgence and record their fifth successive win in all competitions.

Three points at St James’ Park would lift Liverpool back into sixth but close the gap on Tottenham, Man United and Man City, who all dropped points yesterday.

And although he’s preparing his side for a big game, Klopp still has the time to take pictures with Newcastle fans – and embraces the selfie.

Klopp has opted to shuffle his pack by making six changes to the side which beat Southampton in the Capital One Cup.

Daniel Sturridge must settle for a place on the bench, as does Divock Origi, who scored a hat-trick at St Mary’s.

Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino come back in alongside captain James Milner with Jordan Henderson among the replacements.

With Newcastle currently languishing in the red zone and coming off the back of a 5-1 demolition to Crystal Palace, the club is presently enveloped in a state of gloom.

Steve McClaren finds himself under the microscope and another heavy defeat today would raise further questions about his future.

Newcastle: Elliot; Janmaat, Coloccini, Mbemba, Dummett; Sissoko, Anita, Colback, Wijnaldum; De Jong, Cisse.

Subs: Darlow, Sterry, Mbabu, Gouffran, Thauvin, Mitrovic, Perez

Liverpool: Mignolet; Clyne, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno; Milner, Lucas, Allen, Ibe, Firmino, Benteke.

Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Henderson, Sturridge, Lallana, Origi, Randall
