Liverpool equaled the record for the most wins in the Premier League last weekend, but the Merseysiders were unable to better it. League newcomers Bournemouth suffered as they left with a 9-0 defeat at Anfield. An interesting fact was that none of the goals were scored by Liverpool's top scorer Mohamed Salah. Roberto Firmino and Luiz Diaz scored twice for the Cherries, while Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Fabio Carvalho added one each. At the beginning of the second half, Chris Mepham scored an own goal.

This was Liverpool's first win since the start of the season, which came only in the fourth round. The Merseysiders previously fell to Manchester United and drew with Crystal Palace and Fulham. The fifth challenge for Jurgen Klopp's players will be Newcastle. The Magpies are unbeaten so far, but after their 2-0 first-round win over Nottingham, they have won just a point from their next three matches. In the last round, Newcastle drew 1:1 as a guest of Wolverhampton, and a round earlier 3:3 with the champion Manchester City. The first draw for the "Black and Whites" was 0:0 with Brighton.

Last season, the Newcastle team fell into a very severe crisis in the first half of the season. Liverpool managed to emerge victorious in both battles with the Magpies, with the one at Anfield being won 3-1 and the result at St James's Park being 1-0. We have to go back seven years to see Newcastle's last success over the Merseysiders. It was in their own stadium, and in Liverpool, the Black and Whites are without a win in 28 years. During this period, the Newcastle team has 27 visits to Anfield.

The first home match for Klopp's players did not end as expected, but their second one exceeded even the wildest expectations. I think that against Newcastle, the Liverpool team will perform at the same level that they showed at the weekend and the Merseysiders will add another three points to their asset. At the moment, last season's silver medalists are seven points behind Arsenal, who are the only club in the Premier League who have not failed to win in all four rounds.
