Newcastle United vs Liverpool: Preview
Newcastle United were terrible last season and it was a shock to so many that Eddie Howe was not relieved of his duties sooner.
Finally, on July 31, the ex-Bournemouth boss stepped down from his position at St James’ Park, following frustrations over changes to the club’s transfer policy and the sales of key players like Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.
In comes Matthias Jaissle, who most recently spent three years in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli. In Saudi Arabia he picked up three trophies, including the Asian Champions League twice.
Lewis Hall is rumoured to be liked by Manchester United, which would be another huge loss for the club, given Bruno Guimaraes has also jumped ship for Arsenal too in recent weeks.

Liverpool have also seen a change in manager, with Arne Slot to be replaced by former Cherries head honcho Iraola this summer.
The Spaniard is still waiting to see if the Reds can get a deal for Bradley Barcola over the line, with new reports suggesting Yankuba Minteh, an ex-Newcastle man, could also be on his way to Anfield.
Alexander Isak spent much of last season on the sidelines and is expected to receive a frosty reception in the north-east, and we will be honest: the Swede looks hungry to prove a point this term, so watch out, Newcastle.
Elsewhere, Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo have also arrived to bolster Liverpool’s centre-back woes, with Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez expected to start as the two full-backs.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Newcastle 1-3 Liverpool
It could be a long afternoon for a severely depleted Newcastle, with most of their summer signings having yet tasted football in.
