Liverpool and Newcastle United clash on the opening weekend of the 2026–27 Premier League season, with both clubs entering the new campaign without inspiring confidence.
Liverpool struggled through a difficult preseason, falling to Monaco and Leeds United, while a string of injuries has added to the challenge of adjusting to Andoni Iraola's high-octane pressing system. The new boss has acknowledged that his squad can currently maintain the style for roughly 30 minutes at a stretch, though that figure is expected to improve with each week of training.
Newcastle's buildup has been even more troubling. Following the departures of Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and manager Eddie Howe, the Magpies stumbled through preseason losses against Bayer Leverkusen, Everton, Bristol City, and Strasbourg.
Recent form also tilts in Liverpool's favor. The Reds swept the league double against Newcastle last season, and Alexander Isak—back to full fitness and in sharp form following his high-profile transfer from the Magpies to Liverpool—adds a compelling storyline to this season opener.
Liverpool may still be settling into Iraola's system, but they enter this fixture as the clear favorites.
