00:00 And up next for Liverpool, Newcastle away in the Premier League.
00:04 An incredibly tough place to go since their takeover and building this,
00:09 what they're building there.
00:10 But Liverpool have been a team that have let that go under the rail
00:14 and have actually had some good results there over the past few visits as well.
00:18 How do you see this one going?
00:20 Yeah, they have, you're right.
00:21 That game in about February last season, something like that,
00:25 when Liverpool weren't in the best moment,
00:27 but they blew Newcastle away in the opening 15 minutes.
00:31 Obviously, I think Nick Pope got sent off as well quite early and that changed things.
00:35 And Newcastle had a little bit of a go,
00:37 but Liverpool were always probably fairly comfortable
00:40 and maybe put the shuffles on themselves after they were 2-0 up
00:44 and that's a numerical advantage.
00:47 It's the third game of the season and you already get a feeling that it's a big fixture.
00:53 I think that's just because how tight the race to the top four is going to be this season.
00:58 City are going to be probably champions,
01:02 Arsenal are going to be there, Chelsea, Man Utd, Tottenham have...
01:08 That winning against Man Utd showed that maybe they could threaten them bright enough
01:13 and just kicked on again, haven't they?
01:15 It's going to be so competitive, that top four race,
01:18 and every result is going to count.
01:21 It's just gone up to St James' Park.
01:25 It's got a massive feel about it.
01:27 Liverpool probably take a point now, I'll be honest with you.
01:32 If you win your home games and draw away, especially against your rivals,
01:35 it's not bad results.
01:37 Liverpool boosted by the news that Alexis McAllister's red card had been rescinded.
01:44 Justice prevailed there.
01:46 A really poor decision by referee Thomas Bramble on the day.
01:50 But, yes, Newcastle, I think Eddie Howard won a response.
01:54 He might have been completely happy with that Man City performance,
01:59 especially the way they blew Aston Villa away,
02:01 and Jürgen Klopp will be mindful of that.
02:03 It'll be interesting to see exactly how Jürgen Klopp sets up to size.
02:09 He never sets up teams to not get beat.
02:12 He always wants to win games.
02:15 If he offered fans a draw now, I think a lot of them probably would take it.
