Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool 1'

Expect a raucous atmosphere at St. James Park as Newcastle United take on Liverpool in the Premier League tonight. The big question is however 0 Is Alexander Isak watching?

 "When we played Newcastle here last season, we were 1-0 down and then it went to 1-1. We brought in some substitutions and it helped and it changed the game. It's important to start with your best players but I think I have enough players to bring in and influence the game."

Slot also confirms that Szoboszlai will play at right-back

"Yes, it is. Joe Gomez not ready to start yet. Can have an impact in the game, starting comes too early. The best is Dominik Szoboszlai. He is still an attacking midfielder but because of his work-rate and defending, we thought he could play there.

"It helps that Ryan Gravenberch is back because he's better at positioning than the midfielders we had last game. I am expecting Newcastle to go one v one all over the pitch. The moment they go to a low block, the freedom is there for the full-backs."

When asked by Sky Sports presenter as to what's the update on Isak's future, "No, absolutely nothing to update you with unfortunately."

"We were training this morning and I was preparing for the game and I've had no updates on anything. The focus purely for me is on this game as I think you'll understand.

"It's not where we want to be at this moment of time, entering the new season without a recognised centre forward in that position. What I will say is Anthony Gordon has played the position really well for us historically. I thought he played really well last week, albeit didn't score but I think he led the line really well and I expect him to do it again today."

"I'm feeling good, I'm feeling great. Obviously I couldn't play the first Premier League game, so I'm happy to be back with the team.

"Newcastle are really good, we know it will be a really tough game for us. We know from the Carabao Cup final they are good in set-pieces.

"We analysed the game against Bournemouth, of course, and also against Crystal Palace. We knew what we had to do better. Also for the new players, they need time. The Premier League, it's a different competition, also for them it's a different country."
