Newcastle vs Liverpool: Premier League preview
Liverpool’s visit to St James’ Park on Monday is bound to be a spiky affair. It’s difficult to make assumptions about relations between clubs but Newcastle’s striker situation can only raise the temperature in the cauldron.
Isak has made himself an extremely unpopular young man in Newcastle and it’s a classic twist of fate that brings the club he so desires to his doorstep while he’s grounded and can only peek out at them through the letterbox.
Hugo Ekitike, widely reported to be the Magpies’ preferred successor for their wantaway star, was snatched away from them by the Reds. It’s a funny old game but the Gallowgate isn’t laughing.
Newcastle will benefit from the warm embrace of home after a frustrating goalless draw against Aston Villa.
In truth, the lack of a goal in that game was as much to do with Ezri Konsa’s intervention than the Magpies not having a centre-forward, but Anthony Elanga will feel he should have given his new team an opening-day win with the openings he created.
Their visitors on Monday showed their hand last weekend. Occasionally imperious, Liverpool are also likely to concede plenty of goals this season because they’re given to attack in numbers at the slightest provocation.
The Reds needed all their stamina and a head for big moments to clamber past Bournemouth in the opening game of the season.
Arne Slot will need to find a solution at right-back with new signing Jeremie Frimpong sitting out with a hamstring problem and Conor Bradley only just back in training, not that Frimpong is really a right-back.
Isak aside, Joe Willock is Newcastle’s only confirmed absentee. He’s still a few weeks away from a return.
Even all these years since the nineties, there’s something effervescent about this particular fixture. They’re usually open and the goals flow, but it has become a one-sided affair.
Newcastle won their last meeting, which happened to be the Carabao Cup final, but they haven’t beaten Liverpool in the Premier League since December 2015.
If that sounds like a long time ago, try this on for size: Martin Skrtel scored an own goal and Gini Wijnaldum made sure by making it 2-0 in stoppage time.
