Liverpool are nailed on for a win here. No way they will lose to Stoke. Yes they lost 6-1 to Stoke last time but they'd all but given up by that point, last away game of a disappointing season. This is a completely different team now high in confidence with title aspirations.
I wouldn't feel too confident about Southampton either, they did well after losing some of their best players the previous season last time but there is only so much you can take away from a team before they buckle. Clyne and Schneiderlin are a major loss to that team. Newcastle have made a couple of decent signings too and think they will improve on last season. I'd still favour Southampton to win against them but it's definitely not something you should be lumping on.
