Newcastle will be the first team to face Jurgen Klopp’s Reds since Liverpool destroyed Bournemouth by scoring NINE goals against the poor Cherries on Saturday.The Magpies’ boss Eddie Howe insists there is no such thing as a “good time” to play Liverpool at Anfield. “I don’t know if there is a good time to play Liverpool. Man City and Liverpool were the leading lights of the division and the hardest teams to play against, but we will look forward to it.”📺 Jurgen Klopp on Newcastle breaking into the elite teams at the top:“I am not sure they need another transfer window but if he gets time for it, they will definitely be.” 🔴 pic.twitter.com/IqeulUg2C4— Anfield Watch (@AnfieldWatch) August 30, 2022 Newcastle’s Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is set to miss a second match because of a minor injury and Callum Wilson is still absent. Allan Saint-Maximin is doubtful with a hamstring problem, but Kieran Trippier should overcome a minor fitness issue. Emil Krafth will likely be out for at least six months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament last week. The availability of new signing Alexander Isak remains questionable because the Sweden international is still waiting for the UK government to issue him a work permit.Meanwhile, Liverpool may need to monitor Harvey Elliott, who was replaced at half-time against Bournemouth, as a precaution. Diogo Jota, Naby Keita, Ibrahima Konate, Thiago and Caoimhin Kelleher remain sidelined. Striker Darwin Nunez will miss the game through suspension.Arsenal will double Saka’s salary – and Steven Gerrard’s woesUnited carry the weight of history with them into this fixture after failing to win a top-flight fixture in 28 years at the venue. It’s not looking promising. But Klopp paid tribute to the visitors’ manager, saying that Newcastle had made a good decision to appoint him.”We face an opponent who are probably the most improved team in the Premier League this year. I have always respected and admired Eddie Howe, and the job he is doing at Newcastle United is brilliant. It should not surprise anyone, either. It has long been clear that Eddie has a philosophy, a way of playing and a way of working that would benefit whichever club he works for.”Will Liverpool continue to score like crazy or will the visitors repeat the feat of snatching a point as they’ve done against Manchester City and Wolves? This will be an exciting match.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 5TuesdayFulham – Brighton 2-1 (0-0)/Mitrovic 48, Dunk 55 og – Mac Allister 60 pen/Crystal Palace – Brentford 1-1 (1-0)/Zaha 59 – Wissa 88/Southampton – Chelsea 2-1 (1-1)/Lavia 28, Armstrong 45+1 – Sterling 23/Leeds – Everton 1-1 (0-1)/Sinisterra 55 – Gordon 17/Wednesday21.30: (3.60) Bournemouth (3.35) Wolverhampton (2.20)21.30: (1.50) Arsenal (4.40) Aston Villa (7.50)21.30: (1.10) Man.City (13.0) Nott.Forest (25.0)21.45: (3.80) West Ham (3.60) Tottenham (2.05)22.00: (1.33) Liverpool (5.90) Newcastle (9.50)Thursday22.00: (3.80) Leicester (3.50) Man.Utd.
