Liverpool have been tipped to make it two wins from two matches when they take on Newcastle United at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp 's side recorded their first win in the new Premier League season on Saturday when they smashed Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield and now momentum is building after three games without a win.
Eddie Howe could be without some key players for the trip to Anfield after his Newcastle side faced a tough encounter with Wolves at the weekend, where they both battled it out to a 1-1 draw at Molineux. Here is how pundits Chris Sutton and Mark Lawrenson see the match going.

Premier League winner Sutton told BBC Sport : "We all think Liverpool are back following that big 9-0 win but Newcastle are a dangerous team. However, they are missing Callum Wilson and there is an injury concern over Allan Saint-Maximin, who would be a massive miss for them.
"There is a possibility we could see their new signing, Alexander Isak start. You know Newcastle will give it a go with how Eddie Howe plays but I think Liverpool will carry on at home and I think they will have too much."
Sutton's prediction: 4-0
Former Liverpool defender Lawrenson gave his prediction to Paddy Power for the match at Anfield on Wednesday.
"It remains to be seen if their new £60m striker is ready for Newcastle’s trip to Anfield, but what we do know is that they’re very good defensively under Eddie Howe," Lawrenson said. "I think we can all imagine the way they’re going to play at Liverpool, sitting in and hoping to contain their opponents.
"The gloom has lifted around Liverpool after Saturday’s result. The fact they scored nine goals is just mad when you think about it – you might say they should’ve saved a few of those for Wednesday night! I’ll still go for them to make it back-to-back wins, though Newcastle might nick a goal."
Lawrenson's prediction: 2–1
