Liverpool’s next move to Wataru Endo should be clear, with Jurgen Klopp getting a big boost as he considers appealing for Alexis Mac Allister’s red card.
Jurgen Klopp on Alexis Mac Allister’s red card against Bournemo
What does this week hold for Liverpool? Now for action on the pitch,
the Reds travel to Newcastle United on Sunday for what is perhaps one of the toughest away games they have faced in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle beat Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Champions League football race last year, but Liverpool were one of only two sides, alongside Arsenal, to win at St James’ Park Last year.
The Magpies opened the season with a 5-1 win over Aston Villa but lost to champions Manchester City on matchday two, scoring just one shot on target in a 1-0 loss.
Off the pitch there could be further developments on the transfer market for Liverpool.
Last week, the club made Stuttgart defensive midfielder Wataru Endo its third signing of the summer spell, but Klopp has said he will continue to scout the market ahead of the September 1 deadline.
An addition of the number six could certainly come in handy, as could a strengthening of the central defence.

Liverpool’s next big move should be obvious
Liverpool need a top-level defensive midfielder to truly compete for the biggest trophies, writes Matt Addison.
The Reds appear to have good moves for Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but Endo is not in the same boat as those two players and looks more like an alternative solution.

Jürgen Klopp has received a boost as Liverpool consider Alexis Mac Allister’s appeal
Liverpool must decide whether to formally appeal midfielder Alexis Mac Allister’s red card against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Mac Allister was sacked for a challenge on Ryan Christie, but based on replays, the decision may have been a bit tough. If Liverpool fail to appeal or a bid fails, they will go three games without one of their big signings for the summer.
That would no doubt be a concern, but the good news for Klopp is that his alternative options are starting to come into play again.
After a spell on the sideline, Stefan Bajčetić made a surprise return from injury against Bournemouth on Saturday, while Endo made his Liverpool debut as a substitute.
