Liverpool is set to face a challenging away game against Newcastle as they aim for their second consecutive victory after accumulating four points from their opening two fixtures of the season.

Liverpool has shown promise this season, securing a 1-1 draw against Chelsea and coming back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Bournemouth 3-1, even with a man down due to a controversial Alexis Mac Allister red card.

While Liverpool’s attack is potent, their defense has been inconsistent, which could be problematic against Newcastle, who scored five goals against Aston Villa in their season opener.

Jurgen Klopp will be looking for a strong start from his team, and the fixture promises to be an exciting one.
