Three saves in rout Pope registered three saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-1 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Pope made three saves but could do nothing to contain Liverpool's attack. It was a frustrating day for Pope, as the Newcastle defense was sliced through repeatedly and left him to defense some top-tier chances.

Impact Pope delivered an excellent performance against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, making six saves, including an early penalty stop from Ousmane Dembele, though he was unable to do anything about Vitinha's strike.

He will look to carry that momentum into a challenging trip to Liverpool on Saturday.

Impact Pope kept a shutout as Newcastle stayed patient and then struck twice late in the second half.

Impact Pope suffered a late groin injury in training ahead of Saturday's clash against the Toffees, ruling him out for the game.

If this is the case, Aaron Ramsdale will replace him between the posts until he returns.
