Newcastle will be hoping Liverpool’s goals for the opening month of the Premier League campaign came to an end on Saturday when Eddie Howe’s side look to preserve their unbeaten record in the new season at Anfield.
Liverpool tormented visitors Bournemouth with a 9-0 hammering of their newly-promoted opponents, ending the Reds’ unexpectedly long search for a first win in record-threatening style as part of a result that led to the departure of Cherries manager Scott Parker on Tuesday.
In-form Allan Saint-Maximin scored a superb last-minute volley to spare the Magpies a first defeat in seven matches and secure a 1-1 draw at Wolves on Sunday, keeping his team a point and two places above Liverpool in seventh.
