The early part of the season is about building momentum. A positive result against a traditional top-six side like Liverpool would provide a significant boost. The performance of Joe Willock, who has already found the net, will be key. The club's immediate focus will then shift to the away match against Tottenham, a game that will be crucial for shaping their early league position.

Securing points at St James' Park is always a priority. The Magpies' defensive record of two goals conceded from their first match is an area they will aim to tighten.
