Premier League: Predicting the winners of every opening weekend fixture

For this meeting, Liverpool must do without the senior defender Konaté, the not very prolific attacker Isak, the interesting full-back Bradley and the young Italian defender Leoni, injured. Furthermore, replacement striker Chiesa is not guaranteed to be able to apply. On the other hand, Mohamed Salah (4 goals and 3 assists in PL) is back after his participation in the CAN. In clear recovery of form in recent weeks, the German international Wirtz (3 goals and 1 assist in PL) scored last weekend. He should start this Saturday just like the other offensive players Gakpo (5 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Ekitiké (8 goals and 2 assists in PL).

Newcastle's squad is reduced by injuries to important defenders Schär and Livramento, potentially starting winger Murphy and replacement defender Krafth. In addition, captain Bruno Guimaraes is uncertain, as is solid defender Burn and replacement striker Osula. This week, forwards Barnes (5 PL goals), Wissa (1 PL goal) and Gordon (2 PL goals) all scored. German international Woltemade (7 goals and 2 assists in PL) started on the bench and could again be a substitute this Sunday.
