Winner takes Alexander Isak?

The Swede will be watching his potential future employers take on his current ones in the final match of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 2 tonight.

Newcastle United v Liverpool gets underway at St James’ Park at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

While the off-the-field events are very chaotic, the Magpies’ team news is routine.

In fact, Eddie Howe has named an unchanged side from the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa nine days ago.

Anthony Gordon will be leading the line for the hosts again.

New signing Jacob Ramsey is in the squad for the first time, joining fellow summer recruits Malick Thiaw and Aaron Ramsdale among the substitutes.

Arne Slot is forced into two alterations this evening.

Jeremie Frimpong misses out with a hamstring injury, while Alexis Mac Allister is attending the birth of his child.

Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch, the latter of whom is back from suspension, come into Slot’s starting XI.

With Frimpong sidelined and Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley only fit enough for substitute duty, the Liverpool boss has confirmed that Dominik Szoboszlai will start at right-back tonight.

New boy Giovanni Leoni takes his place among the substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Joelinton, Tonali, Guimaraes, Elanga, Gordon, Barnes.

Subs: Ramsdale, Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Osula, Murphy, Willock, Ramsey, Miley.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Jones, Gravenberch, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Bradley, Endo, Chiesa, Leoni, Elliott, Robertson, Ngumoha.

    I Newcastle in 30 minutes shown 3 times as much offensive football as Villa in 2 full games.

      • 15 Years

    It won't be long before 18 year old Leoni starts over Konate

  16. WVA

    Gakpo destroying Salah

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Salah playing too wide. Ekitike taking his space.

  17. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Good goal for non owners of this game

  18. diesel001

    Time to get rid of Wirtz. He ain't involved and dropping in price now.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sold him for Semenyo to catch his rise, Bowen then dropped the next day, pointless and fixed

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Not watching but he seems like a waste of an FPL pick.

    3. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wirtz with the awful unforced error

  19. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Grav great goal. Gakpo jammy assist.

  20. SINGH

    Points for everyone with Gravenberch. Except me.

    Wow, talk about undeserved

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      It's called taking your chances.

  22. Ball Ake
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Gakpo if not saving my gameweek at least making it stink less than a Great Dane turd

  23. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Gakpo was the one to get then.

  24. Moon Dog

    James Garner-esque

    1. Ball Ake

      Ahh the Rockford Files, the greatest TV theme tune in history

    Typical Liverpool from last season. Get outplayed but still manage to score and win.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It's great to see

      LOL blind

  26. The Mandalorian

    LIV looked better last season.

    They used to control games and be defensively solid.

    Slot needs to go back to the system that won the league.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Early days, new players.

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Early days ?

        Instead of posting cliches please explain what they're trying to do ?

        They look a mess.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      TAA Robbo?

      I think it's to be expected with so many changes over the summer. It will take time to come together, if indeed it ever does, it's a big risk changing so much, so fast. I also think as some have said and is currently being demonstrated against Newcastle that they need an additional 6, someone physically imposing.

  27. Feanor

    He’s gone from bad to Wirtz

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years

      Falls down again

      1. Jafooli

  28. Thanos

    Wirtz = Worst

  29. Kaneyonero
