Newcastle United come face-to-face with Liverpool on the pitch amid the drama and rumours surrounding Alexander Isak’s future at the clubs. Isak has sidelined himself from playing for the Magpies and is pushing for a move to Liverpool who have had a bid of £110m rejected as it did not meet Newcastle’s valuation.
Eddie Howe’s men needed Isak’s ability in front of goal last week as they drew 0-0 away at Aston Villa despite the hosts going down to 10 men. Another difficult match awaits them today with the Premier League champions arriving at St. James’ Park and Howe will be hoping his team can impose themselves on Liverpool.
