Liverpool qualified automatically for the last 16, but Newcastle will head into the play-off round, where they face Qarabag in mid February for a place in the first knockout round. This evening, both teams are hindered by injuries. The hosts are without a natural right-back after injuries to Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, while striker Alexander Isak’s broken leg means that the Swede will not be able to face his former side tonight.
