St James’ Park will pay emotional tribute to Kevin Keegan on opening weekend

Newcastle take on Liverpool today in one of the headline fixtures of opening weekend in the Premier League. Both clubs and fanbases will pay tribute to late icon Kevin Keegan on what is set to be an emotional afternoon at St James’ Park, with the English football great having died in July following a battle with cancer. There are new managers in both dugouts, with Matthias Jaissle now in charge of the hosts following Eddie Howe’s shock exit and Andoni Iraola selected to succeed Arne Slot as Reds boss.

Neither coach enjoyed a smooth summer, with Newcastle also hit by the exits of three key players in Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, while Liverpool’s transfer progress has been slow as they continue to work on replacing Mohamed Salah. Either Ronald Araujo or fellow new signing Jeremy Jacquet will need to start alongside Virgil van Dijk in defence, while there are likely to be several debuts for Newcastle, who have been rocked by the absence of injured captain Dan Burn.

One of the top-flight’s classic fixtures rarely disappoints, while Alexander Isak’s first return to Tyneside offers another fascinating subplot. Follow Newcastle vs Liverpool live below!
