In the second round of the Premier League, Newcastle United faced defending champion Liverpool at home St James' Park Stadium. Before this game, the transfer farce about Newcastle striker Isaac and Liverpool has not yet ended. The Swedish striker still missed the first-team roster and is even less likely to play in the rumored team Liverpool. This transfer farce that lasted for nearly a month also added additional highlights to the game.

In the first round of the new season, with Isaac missing, Newcastle's offense was not satisfactory. Facing Aston Villa away, the ball possession rate exceeded 60% (60.1%), he scored 16 shots, hit the goal only 3, and failed to score a goal, winning a draw 0-0; Anthony Gordon, who replaced Isaac at the center position of Newcastle, contributed 7 shots in the first round, but failed to convert into a goal.

In the last four Premier League games that Isaac missed, Newcastle failed to score a goal and was hard to win (2 draws and 2 losses). Although they completed 47 shots in these games, the expected goal (xG) was as high as 5.57; coach Eddie Howe said after the game that the result of 1 point was satisfactory, and hoped to solve Isaac's transfer problem as soon as possible.

As the defending champion Liverpool, although he lost to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield Finals, the Reds rebounded at the speed of light and beat Bournemouth 4-2 in the first game, achieving a good start. The team's new forward Ekitic performed well and contributed passes. In addition, the team's offensive players in the frontcourt blossomed in multiple points, with goals scored by Garkepo, Ekitic, Salah and Chiesa.

In 39 Premier League games under coach Slott, Liverpool has scored 90 goals, averaging 2.3 goals per game, setting the best record for the coach in the team's history in the top league. However, in the team's preseason, Community Shield and first-round league, Liverpool failed to maintain a clean sheet, and the team's defensive stability needs to be improved, and Slot expressed concerns many times in interviews.

In the historical confrontation records of the two teams, Liverpool has achieved an overwhelming advantage of 13 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 20 games against Newcastle, and in the match between the two teams in the Premier League, Newcastle has 3 draws and 7 losses in the last 10 games, which is difficult to win. In the last matchup in the British League Cup final, Newcastle defeated Liverpool 2-1 and successfully won the cup, but the goal-winning hero of the game Isak missed the game.

In addition to Isaac, who was not selected for the roster due to transfer issues, Newcastle midfielder Willok was absent due to a calf injury and resumed joint training before the game; former coach Eddie Howe confirmed that the team's new attacker Ramsey can play. For Liverpool, the team's new player defender Flynn Pon suffered a hamstring injury in the first round of the game and is expected to be missing until after the international match in mid-September. However, Herafenberg, who was absent from his wife's childbirth in the first round of the league, will return in this game, which is undoubtedly a major benefit for Liverpool.

Six days before the start of this game, Isaac posted a message on his personal social media, saying that the club violated its promise and prevented it from joining Liverpool; but then Newcastle official responded that the team never allowed Isaac to leave the team this summer, and the players' transfer conditions were not met. This undoubtedly pushes the transfer farce to a climax. The showdown between Newcastle and Liverpool in this background may undoubtedly turn into a "war of proof".
