Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas has claimed he and his teammates will have to be aware of the threat Newcastle United pose in attack at Anfield. The Magpies head to Merseyside hoping to continue their unbeaten start to the season as they sit seventh in the Premier League, two points ahead of Wednesday’s opponents.
Newcastle’s most impressive result of the season so far came against Liverpool’s title rivals Manchester City, whom they held to a 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park. The likes of Allan Saint-Maximin, Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron caused City’s defence all sorts of problems that afternoon.
While Wilson and potentially Saint-Maximin may not be available, Newcastle will be hoping to call on the services of a new £58 million signing Alexander Isak for the first time. Eddie Howe now has an abundance of top attacking players at his disposal.
