Liverpool starting XI under Andoni Iraola vs. Newcastle

Andoni Iraola has arrived as manager, hoping to get the club back into competition for the title after a bit of a slump last year. The offseason has brought more change, with Mo Salah leaving the club after nearly a decade with the Reds.

So, the visit to Newcastle United in Iraola’s first official match in charge feels important. But which of the many new acquisitions will take a place in the squad – and which regulars will provide stability? And how will forward Alexander Isak react to returning to the club where he made his name?

There won’t be many changes from a 2-0 win over Como FC that closed out preseason.

Here’s how Liverpool looks in Iraola’s debut:
