Martin Keown believes Newcastle United have various tactics to call upon against Liverpool. Eddie Howe has adopted a 4-3-3 system for most of his time as Toon boss.
That formation worked to great effect as the Magpies secured Premier League survival last season. In 2022-23, Howe has stuck to his guns - and the move has worked wonders.
Rarely has the 45-year-old tinkered with his side, allowing partnerships to form across the pitch. Sven Botman and Fabian Schar look impenetrable at centre-back, with Dan Burn deputising for Matt Targett on the left side of defence.
