Newcastle United vs Liverpool Preview

Anthony Gordon will lead the line in a 4-3-3, supported by Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga, with Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, and Joelinton driving the midfield. New signings Malick Thiaw and Aaron Ramsdale bolster the squad. A fiery atmosphere fueled by fan frustration could inspire a 2-1 win or 2-2 draw, though a 1-2 loss is possible.

Arne Slot’s 4-2-3-1 features Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Ibrahima Konaté in defense, with Milos Kerkez and Wataru Endo or Dominik Szoboszlai at full-back. Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister anchor midfield, with Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz or Szoboszlai, and Mohamed Salah (10 goals, 11 assists vs. Newcastle) supporting Hugo Ekitike up top.
