Premier League | Match of the Weekend

Newcastle United vs Liverpool FC

Newcastle features for a second week in a row in our Match of the Weekend. Following last weekend’s 1-0 defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad. The Magpies hosts Jurgen Klopp’s men at St. James' Park on Sunday. Last year Newcastle was disappointed in both Premier League fixtures. In the away fixture, Fabio Carvalho scored a last-minute winner. And in the home fixture United’s goalkeeper, Nick Pope, got sent off.

However, Eddie Howe’s men were able to keep Liverpool at bay by allowing only two goals.

Seeing Newcastle’s form, it will be a difficult fixture for the visitors. There is also a lot of unrest around Liverpool. However, Jurgen Klopp has denied the departure of key man Mohamed Salah. Klopp also revealed that Ibrahima Konaté is a doubt for Sunday’s trip to Newcastle. With the change in the Red’s system, this injury further highlights the importance of their center-backs. With Konaté unlikely to feature in this fixture, either Joel Matip or Joe Gomez will be expected to take his place.

On the other hand, Liverpool has been given very good news. Seeing that Alexis Mac Allister being available for selection after his three-game suspension for last weekend red card was overturned. Newcastle also has positives to take into the game. Last time out Joelinton hobbled off against City., but he has been training with the squad, so he is likely to be available for selection.

Seeing the spectacle of last year fixtures. This iconic match is the one to watch!
