Kenny Dalglish: "It is important for us that we don't lose goals at the back.
"It is important for Pepe (Reina), who has been fantastic in the last few months or so.
"He has really commanded his area; he wasn't as busy in the 5-0 win over Birmingham as he has been in other games but he was very confident and that helps us.
"For us, from the goalkeeping position through the team there are positives there for everyone."
Dalglish is unbeaten at Anfield in nine matches since returning as manager.
Former Magpies striker Andy Carroll will undergo a late fitness test to see if he has recovered from the knee injury which forced him to miss last week's 5-0 win over Birmingham.

Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
