A new era at Liverpool gets underway on the road as Andoni Iraola takes charge of his first competitive fixture away at Newcastle on Sunday 23rd August at 4:30 pm. As the opening fixture of the new Premier League season for both clubs, there is plenty of intrigue surrounding how Liverpool look under their new head coach, following on from what proved to be a difficult end to the previous campaign under Arne Slot.
With a couple of key departures on Newcastle’s side of things, though, and a poor string of performances that closed off their season last year, there is still a lot of unpredictability surrounding Newcastle vs Liverpool. This is reflected in the variety of sports betting markets available at BOYLE Sports, with these covering several potential outcomes of this exciting opening gameweek fixture.
Newcastle Vs Liverpool Preview
Having guided Bournemouth to a historic sixth-place finish and Europa League qualification the previous season, Iraola has a daunting opening assignment at St James’ Park that gives him little time to ease into the role. Newcastle, on the other hand, will be looking to make home advantage count against a Liverpool side still finding its feet under new management. However, with their extremely poor form at the end of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, and the return of British transfer record Alexander Isak to his previous club after a disappointing first season at the Reds, the outcome remains far from predictable. With the combination of a fresh managerial appointment and a tricky away venue renowned for its hostile environment, Newcastle vs Liverpool remains a close contest to call.
Despite this, Liverpool’s overall strength in squad depth and a couple of unproven Premier League signings on Newcastle's end, the away side are installed as narrow favourites. The two clubs have faced off regularly in recent seasons, with Liverpool holding the stronger head-to-head record. Their most recent meeting came in January 2026 when the Reds ran out comfortable 4-1 winners at Anfield, following on from a dramatic last-minute Rio Ngumoha and 3-2 victory earlier in the season. Newcastle did get the better of Liverpool in the EFL Cup final earlier in 2025, though, showing they're capable of getting a result against Liverpool when it matters.
