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.
