It looks like a poke in the eye for Fabian Schar from Kieran Trippier.

The Newcastle defender took a heavy landing too.

Think he's Strong Enough to continue though.

Fabian Schar is inadvertently caught in the face by team-mate - and captain - Kieran Trippier's flailing in.

I Got You Baby, says the physio when he runs on to the pitch.

Raul Jimenez tries release Daniel Podence into space down the right but his pass is too heavy. Out comes Hugo Lloris to claim. Good chance to spring a counter, that.

Philippe Coutinho has settled in really quickly at Aston Villa, a real class act.

Could have been playing for the opposition, of course.

Virgil van Dijk immediately tests the swirling wind with a long ball forward. The ball darts one way, then the other and is miscontrolled out of play by a team-mate.

Flags waving, tifos of Joelinton and new boy Bruno Guimaeres stretching across the stand.

There's a real feel-good factor at St James' Park following the misery of the last few years.

Harry Kane is immediately pinging perfect long-range passes into space for colleagues. He releases Lucas Moura but the following low cross is claimed by Jose Sa.

Plastic ponchos are all the rage at all three grounds as the games get under way. Rain is guaranteed, hopefully we'll get some entertainment to go along with it.

The wind and rain is going to come into play in the way Burnley will get about Liverpool today, I am sure.

Right then, let's try and brighten up this miserable, wet, windy day with some quality Premier League football, eh?

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Watching new Burnley striker Wout Weghorst go up against his Dutch team-mate Virgil van Dijk will be interesting. Weghorst has made a decent start to life at Turf Moor but he was signed to score goals and it is a big ask for him to get off the mark in this one.

This won't be easy for Liverpool. Burnley are still bottom of the table but they have shown recently that they are up for the fight. I still think Jurgen Klopp's side will come out on top though, because we know they will create a lot of chances.

Jeremy's prediction: 0-4

A stat might well be playing into the Newcastle will win this game narrative...

Aston Villa won only two of their 24 Premier League away games against Newcastle: 1-0 on 7 August 1999 (goal by Julian Joachim after the hosts had Alan Shearer sent off) and 3-0 on 2 April 2005 (a goal by Juan Pablo Angel and two penalties scored by Gareth Barry).The second of those victories was notable for the Magpies having three players sent off, including Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer for fighting each other.

The pre-match choice of music at St James' Park is Disco Inferno.

Very clever on Dan Burn's debut.

Mo: Right calls from Conte. Hojbjerg had to be dropped, even if it is just for a rest. Overplayed and his performances dipped. Sessengon for Reggy to mix things up. Less said about Royal the better.
