Newcastle vs. Liverpool—Premier League: Live Score and Match Stats

Liverpool and Newcastle United meet on the opening weekend of the 2026–27 Premier League season, with neither side looking particularly convincing heading into the new campaign.

Liverpool endured a difficult preseason, losing to Monaco and Leeds United, while injuries have compounded the challenge of adapting to Andoni Iraola’s demanding high-intensity approach. The new manager has even admitted his squad can currently sustain the style for only around 30 minutes at a time, although that number should be rising with each passing week.

Newcastle’s preparations have been even more concerning. After losing Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and manager Eddie Howe, the Magpies have suffered preseason defeats to Bayer Leverkusen, Everton, Bristol City and Strasbourg.

Recent history also favors Liverpool. The Reds completed the league double over Newcastle last season, while Alexander Isak—now fit and firing after his controversial move from the Magpies to Liverpool—adds another intriguing subplot to the opener.

Liverpool may still be finding their feet—and lungs—under Iraola, but they head into this one with the edge.
