**Jeremy Jacquet** gets a start in the season opener vs. **Newcastle,** and **Alexander Isak** will get the start up top vs. his old team as **Andoni Iraola** trots out a strong starting XI today at St. James' Park.
**Newcastle Starters**: Horníček, Hall, Botman, Wissa, Osula, Barnes, Thiaw (C), Steur, Elanga, Dedić, Miley.
**Subs**: Jaouen, Schär, Bamba, Touré, Murphy, Woltemade, Willock, Ramsey, Shahar.
**Liverpool Starters**: Alisson, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Gakpo, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Ngumoha.
**Subs**: Mamardashvili, Endo, Mac Allister, Tsimikas, Muñoz, Araujo, Nyoni, McConnell, Koumas.
This is a strong lineup, and there are also plenty of weapons, such as **Alexis Mac Allister** and Victor Muñoz, on the bench. As I said in the [buildup](https://lfcglobe.co.uk/liverpool-predicted-lineup-vs-newcastle-august-2026/), if this lineup can stay healthy, the Reds have a strong chance to lift some trophies this season.
