Newcastle United showed their resolve last weekend against treble winners Manchester City, albeit they came away with nothing after a 1-0 defeat.
Regardless, Eddie Howe will be pleased with the way his side performed, and welcoming Liverpool to St. James' Park on Sunday they'll be confident of winning the game, not least getting a point against the Reds.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have been unconvincing in their opening two fixtures, but at least they've accumulated four points in the process. Following up a 1-1 draw at Chelsea, Klopp's men then made hard work of Bournemouth last weekend.
Falling 1-0 down didn't help, then the sending off of Alexis Mac Allister - a suspension which has since been lifted - made matters worse. Fortunately, Liverpool won 3-1 and mitigated any potential controversies.
Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
