BTTS & over 2.5 goals

The most compelling storyline of GW1. Alexander Isak returns to St James' Park as Liverpool's new striker. Andoni Iraola makes his competitive debut as Liverpool manager. Liverpool finished 5th last season (60 pts) with a shaky away record: 7W 3D 9L. Van Dijk has publicly said the new defence needs time to gel. Newcastle lost Isak and Tonali but remain dangerous at home. Liverpool are in transition — major departures (Salah, Konaté, Robertson), new faces still integrating. St James' Park is one of the loudest home grounds in England. A draw feels the most likely outcome.
