Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they face Newcastle United at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will be looking to continue their flawless start to the season, having won their opening four league games.
They face Steve Bruce’s side this weekend, with the Magpies arriving on Merseyside with the aim of picking up their second win on the road against top six opposition.
Their win away to Tottenham in August showed that they have a strategy to defend for large amounts of time and catch teams on the break.
As a result, Klopp’s side will be fully aware that Newcastle have a number of players who can hurt Liverpool, who will still be without first choice goalkeeper Alisson.
The Reds will be confident of making it five wins from five in the Premier League, however, especially if their recent league form is anything to go by.
Ahead of Saturday’s match, we outline five key battles that Liverpool must win.
