Robbie Keane's dressing room assessment of Hugo Ekitike has proven to be spot on as the Liverpool striker has made a blistering start in the Premier League.

It seems former Reds and Tottenham Hotspur striker Keane was spot on in his evaluation of Ekitike earlier this year.

Eddie Howe's team start their campaign without him at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Tensions are also set to reach a peak between Liverpool and the Magpies when the Reds head to St James' Park a week on Monday for their second Premier League match of the season.
