Liverpool vs Newcastle prediction
Liverpool answered their critics in emphatic style against Bournemouth but Newcastle will prove a far sterner test, heading to Anfield still unbeaten.
The Reds’ problems of their opening three games will not have been fixed with a walkover win, so they will not have it all their own way.
A 1-1 draw.
