What happened. Alexander Isak will return to St James' Park for the first time since his £125m move from Newcastle to Liverpool, facing a daunting atmosphere and needing to impress new coach Matthias Jaissle.

• Isak forced the move last summer with unilateral industrial action.
• Newcastle fans will be close, with only portable barriers separating them.
• Eddie Howe has been replaced by Matthias Jaissle at Newcastle.

Isak must win over his new coach after a tough first season, starting with this hostile reunion.
