With Newcastle short on firepower and Liverpool boasting a dominant record at St James’ Park, the champions look primed to extend their decade-long hold over the Magpies.
20:00 Monday
With Alexander Isak eyeing a move to Liverpool and tensions rising, Newcastle face the champions in a clash that promises drama.
Newcastle vs Liverpool Prediction
- Given the situation regarding Alexander Isak's future and the striker wanting to join Liverpool, it promises to be a fiery atmosphere at St James' Park.
- But Newcastle are likely to start once again without a recognised frontman and have a dreadful recent Premier League record against the champions. It's been almost 10 years and 17 games since they beat the Reds in the top-flight.
- Liverpool were not at their best against Bournemouth on the opening-day, but their incredible attacking pool of players still managed to get them over the line.
- The Reds have lost three of their last four away games dating back to last season but are unbeaten in their last eight trips to Newcastle (W5 D3).
