Newcastle against Liverpool is always an exciting game and with Eddie Howe improving his midfield with new signing Sandro Tonali, he will want to set the record straight against Jurgen Klopp who managed to win both games in the last 2 seasons.
Jurgen will need to solid up his defense against a very strong Newcastle side, Liverpool's new formation (3-2-2-3) exposed Alisson in the back and definitely has the fans with their hearts in their mouths for most the game
Jurgen must utilize new signing Wataru Endo in the No. 6 position and let the "HEAVY METAL" days of Liverpool return. The great news for Liverpool fans in the Alexis Mac Allister has had his red card rescinded.
Eddie Howe will need to use Tonali and Guimaraes passing ability to open up Liverpool and let Isak and Gordon get in behind and cause havoc for a shaking Liverpool defense.

Injury News:
Eddie Howe was able to provide good news to Newcastle fans with no new injuries in the team and Joelinton has been cleared to play against Liverpool. This gives Eddie an almost full lineup with only Joe Willock being the notable missing player.
Newcastle: Joe Willock (Out) , Emil Krath (Out), Javier Manquillo (Trained)
Jurgen Klopp's headache would of increased with Ibrahima Konate being doubtful for the game, as well as Curtis Jones and Thiago are still unfit. The good news for Liverpool is Trent- Alexander Arnold has been cleared to play after his injury scare against Bournemouth.
Liverpool: Ibrahima Konate (Doubt), Curtis Jones (Out), Thiago (Out)
Predicted Lineups:
Prediction:
With Konate a doubt for the game and Jurgen potentially using the 3-2-2-3 formation will leave Liverpool exposed on the right side of the field letting Gordon have to much space and time to punish Liverpool.
With this in mind and Newcastle Being in great form even with a lose to Man City. Liverpool are having sparks of being a title contender team but with defense issues at the moment. I see Eddie finally edging one of Jurgen and taking a narrow victory
Prediction: 2-1 Newcastle United
