Despite losing key loanees from last season, they have retained stars like Ollie Watkins, Emiliano Martinez, and Morgan Rogers, while adding fresh faces. Watkins, in particular, boasts an outstanding record against Newcastle with seven goal involvements in four home league games.<\/p><p>Newcastle, meanwhile, come into this fixture on the back of a poor pre-season, failing to win any of their friendlies and losing momentum after a summer where several transfer targets slipped away. Eddie Howe&rsquo;s men have, however, won their last three Premier League openers, but will be without key striker Alexander Isak and midfielder Joe Willock.
