Liverpool will face Newcastle in a freshly pale Premier League match Monday evening amid Alexander Isaac’s desire to complete a sensational switch to Liverpool
Arne Slot doubts whether his Liverpool side will face a vicious Newcastle crowd on Monday night – because St. James’ park is already so loud. Liverpool will travel northeast for the second Premier League match of the season.
Newcastle is still looking for the first victory in the campaign, but the home side could be given more motivation before the game. Striker Alexander Isaac is at the heart of the long-standing transfer saga between the two clubs.
The Swedes have already expressed his desire to move to Anfield despite Liverpool seeing a bid of over £100 million. He remains away from training for the first team and is not expected to play anytime soon.
Asked if his team could face an even more difficult atmosphere at St James Park, given the saga, Slot replied, “If that’s possible…”
“It’s always like that, it’s very intense, so I don’t know if that’s an extra reason for them. I don’t even know if that’s what the players and managers are thinking.

“Of course, social media and people write a lot, but is this really something the players are thinking and the managers are thinking? I don’t know. I have no clue.”
Slot’s comments come after the Liverpool boss receives two warnings from Newcastle Camp regarding the reception that his side can receive. After a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, Anthony Gordon said:
“I’m looking forward to seeing home fans again and coming back to the stadium. It’s going to be a top game.”

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe is hoping for a noisy atmosphere in the opening home game of the campaign. At a pre-match press conference, he said:
“There’s no doubt this will become a truly passionate display from home support. We need to use it, but not reckless. We need to provide a game plan in a focus, but using energy from the crowd is essential to us.”
