Newcastle ended the 2025-2026 season in disappointment and continued to experience a turbulent summer.
Eddie Howe, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon are no longer attached to the team, while the task of reviving Newcastle is assigned to young coach Matthias Jaissle.
Newcastle was once expected to become a new force in English football. However, that dream has not yet come true. Last season, the "Magpies" finished only 12th in the Premier League, their worst record in a decade.
The defense is still a big problem for the "Magpies". Newcastle have gone through 7 consecutive home matches in the Premier League both scoring goals and conceding goals. If this scenario is repeated in the opening match, they will equal the club's record.
However, Newcastle still has certain strengths. They are unbeaten in the last 4 opening matches, while Jaissle has won in their debut matches in all three previous clubs. These statistics partly add confidence to the home team at St James' Park.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is also entering a new era under coach Andoni Iraola. The Spanish coach is expected to restore the energetic attacking football that made its mark under Jurgen Klopp.
The Kop made a strong impression in the pre-season period with 20 goals after 6 matches. After conceding 9 goals in the first 4 matches, they ended their friendly streak with 2 consecutive clean sheets against Como.
They also have a 13-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League opening round. Iraola personally also had a record of 18 unbeaten matches with Bournemouth in the league before moving to Anfield.
