MATCH PREVIEW
Liverpool will look to carry the momentum from its impressive win over Bournemouth when it faces Newcastle United at home on Wednesday.
After going into the match against Bournemouth winless from the opening three games at the start of the season, Liverpool kick-started its campaign in style with a record-equalling 9-0 Premier League win over the newly-promoted side on Saturday.
"We had to prove a point for ourselves," Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said. "We were not happy with the way we played so far this season.
"We had showed things which we are strong at and other things we had to improve. We just had to give the game a proper direction that is why I loved the start (against Bournemouth) so much.
"We didn't hesitate, went into the game flying and had bodies in the box, around the box, second balls and go again. In the end it was the perfect football afternoon for us and a lot of different goalscorers, wonderful goals and we all know we needed something like that."
Roberto Firmino had an especially fruitful afternoon, scoring twice with three asssists -- becoming the third Liverpool player to have a hand in five goals in one Premier League game after Mohamed Salah against Watford in March 2018 and Luis Suarez versus Norwich in December 2013.
