Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Newcastle
The club has failed to win in two consecutive Premier League matches. First, there was a home defeat to West Ham (0-2), followed by a draw away to Crystal Palace (1-1). Notably, Eddie Howe's side has secured only two victories in their last nine league matches (3 draws and 4 losses). As a result, Newcastle sits in 11th place, but they are just 4 points away from the top four.
Forward Alexander Isak, along with defenders Emil Krafth and Sven Botman, will miss the game due to injuries.
- In 8 of their last 9 Premier League games, the club has not scored more than one goal.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 7 of Newcastle's last 8 Premier League matches.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in 11 of the team's last 13 league matches.
Liverpool
Arne Slot's side secured a crucial victory both in terms of the standings and psychologically by defeating Manchester City (2-0) at home. This win further solidified their lead in the league and extended their gap over City to 11 points. Additionally, Liverpool has won 7 of their last 8 Premier League matches, with the only draw coming against Arsenal. Furthermore, Liverpool boasts the best defense in the Premier League, having conceded only 8 goals.
Defenders Ibrahima Konaté, Conor Bradley, and Kostas Tsimikas will not play due to injuries.
- The number "2" appeared in the final scoreline in six of the club's previous Premier League matches.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 10 of Liverpool's last 14 league games.
- Liverpool has won the second half in their last five Premier League matches.
Newcastle vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
The hosts have been highly inconsistent this season, resulting in numerous lost points. However, Eddie Howe's side can defeat any opponent at home, as demonstrated by their victories over Arsenal (1-0) and a draw with Manchester City (1-1). Additionally, Newcastle defeated Tottenham (2-1) at home. However, losses at St. James' Park to Brighton (0-1) and West Ham (0-2) indicate that the team performs better against top opponents, so I won't risk predicting a straightforward away win here.
It's also highly likely that both teams will score. Newcastle has scored in 23 of their last 25 home league games. Meanwhile, they have conceded in 12 of their last 16 home Premier League matches. Liverpool has an 8-match scoring streak on the road in the Premier League. The team has also conceded in 8 of their last 12 away league games. Notably, Liverpool is unbeaten against this opponent in 15 consecutive league matches (11 wins and 4 draws). Both teams have scored in 8 of their last 11 head-to-head Premier League encounters.
