A penny for Alexander Isak's thoughts on Monday evening, when Newcastle United and Liverpool conclude Premier League gameweek two in a St James' Park showdown that needs no grand build-up.

The Magpies sorely missed their Scandinavian marksman in last weekend's goalless draw with Aston Villa, whereas the Reds had a new attacking hero to thank for their 4-2 beating of Bournemouth.

Head-to-head:

• Newcastle have won 11 of the 60 Premier League meetings between the two teams.
• Liverpool have recorded 36 victories.
• The remaining 13 clashes have ended in draws.
• Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 4 visits to St. James’ Park, with 3 wins.
• 9 of their last 10 meetings produced at least 2 goals.

Form:

• Newcastle in the League: D
• Liverpool in the League: W

Team News:

• There is no big doubt about this Newcastle game. Expect Isak not to be a part of the squad.
• Liverpool will miss Jeremie Frimpong in the next game.

Player(s) to watch:

• Bruno Guimaraes has plied his trade with Audax and Lyon before switching his allegiance to St. James Park. Ever since joining the Magpies, he has been a commanding presence in the midfield, adding much-needed stability in the defensive side of the game as well.
• Hugo Ektike had a memorable Liverpool debut in the last game with a goal and an assist to his name against Bournemouth. He has previously played for teams like Frankfurt, PSG and Reims before making a move to find his new home at Anfield.
