Newcastle’s summer has been dominated by speculation surrounding the future of the club’s star forward, Alexander Isak. The Swedish international refused to participate in the club's pre-season tour and was absent from Newcastle’s season opener, a goalless draw with Aston Villa. Isak’s preferred destination happens to be Liverpool, which has created plenty of hostility towards both the player and today’s opposition within the passionate Toon Army fanbase. Expect a lively atmosphere from kick-off, with the sold-out SJP crowd eager to see Isak and Liverpool’s disruptive actions this summer punished by a convincing home win.

Meanwhile, Liverpool started their title-defending season with three points in a 4-2 win over Bournemouth. The Reds looked particularly sharp going forward, but defensively looked a little brittle. Arne Slot will know that quieting the noisy SJP crowd will be vital, so expect Liverpool to come out of the blocks quickly. An early goal for the visitors would certainly dampen the mood on Tyneside. For all the talk of facing a bear pit atmosphere, Liverpool will be comforted by the fact that they haven’t lost to Newcastle in the league in almost a decade. You have to go back to December 2015 for the last time Liverpool lost to Newcastle in the EPL.

Read on to find out how you can watch Newcastle vs Liverpool live in the Premier League online, on TV, and from anywhere in the world.

Newcastle vs Liverpool Team News

Newcastle will obviously be without Alexander Isak, who continues to refuse to play for his current employers. However, new signing Jacob Ramsey may claim a spot on the bench. Liverpool could have a few absentees of their own; Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, and Joe Gomez are all doubts, though the trio would miss out due to injury issues, rather than because they are attempting to force a move to another club.
