Winless in each of their last nine Premier League home games against Liverpool, Newcastle United are trusting Matthias Jaissle to banish the Reds curse in Sunday's 2026-27 opener at St James' Park.

The Magpies are unbeaten in matchday one fixtures since the 2021-22 campaign, but Liverpool have not lost their season opener since all the way back in 2012-13.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team news for both sides.
