Ever since Liverpool prised Isak away from St James' Park, most Newcastle fans have had it out for the Reds.
The Sweden international was their star man and, even though they signed Nick Woltemade to replace him, they would've likely preferred to keep their number nine at the club.
However, due to the injuries the striker has suffered, he's failed to have much of an impact on Liverpool's season with Ekitike becoming their main striker.
And, despite the absence of some of Liverpool's first-team squad, Roy Keane still believes Saturday's clash could be a "mad game."
"Liverpool, Newcastle. It's getting hard [to predict]. I've never found it easy," he said live on the Stick to Football Podcast.
"Draw, lets do a draw. Let's do 2-2. [It] could be a mad game."
Although Liverpool may be sixth in the Premier League table, they still have a lot to prove.
Last season, Slot's men were one of the most dominant teams in the world with players such as Mohamed Salah having record-breaking campaigns.
And, with the arrival of all their new players in the summer, most fans likely expected their club to easily run away with the top flight title.
That's obviously not been the case but the fact that they still have a chance of winning the FA Cup and the Champions League is something worth fighting for.
Of course, a top four finish in the Premier League should also be high on the agenda which is why the Reds must beat Newcastle on Saturday.
Much like Liverpool, Eddie Howe's men haven't been at their best either which could be good for the Reds' chances.
Nobody knows how Saturday's clash will pan out, but, if Liverpool throw everything in their power towards winning the game, there's no reason why they can't come out on top.
