Alexander Isak should have been the poster boy for Newcastle United’s ambition. Instead, he is at the centre of a standoff with the club. Once the Wembley hero, now training alone after making his frustrations public, his absence leaves a void in attack that Eddie Howe cannot ignore.

Without him, Newcastle look blunt. Joe Willock is sidelined through injury and while Jacob Ramsey could make his debut after joining from Aston Villa, the midfielder may have to wait for his chance from the bench. Howe is expected to focus on physicality in the middle of the park to counter Liverpool’s relentless press.

Liverpool, Premier League champions under Arne Slot, arrive with their own storylines. Ryan Gravenberch is back in the fold after suspension and paternity leave, set to partner Alexis Mac Allister in midfield. That likely spells a reshuffle, with either Dominik Szoboszlai or Florian Wirtz dropping out.

Defensively, there are headaches. Jeremie Frimpong will miss out until after the international break. Conor Bradley has resumed training and could come into contention, offering balance at right back. Joe Gomez remains an option to fill gaps if needed.

Under the lights, Newcastle United’s crowd will be ferocious. Yet passion cannot mask the lack of a cutting edge without Isak. Liverpool have defensive weaknesses but they carry greater threat in attack. Mohamed Salah remains devastating, while Hugo Ekitike is adding sharpness and has been linked with a move to St James’ Park.

This fixture has a history of chaos, goals and heartbreak. The last meeting at Tyneside produced a 3-3 thriller, but Liverpool’s record speaks volumes. The Reds have not lost a Premier League clash with Newcastle since 2015.
