Liverpool vs Newcastle Predictions

Liverpool should get the better of Newcastle in a likely high-scoring contest at Anfield.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals looks like a solid pick, and I also fancy the hosts to edge to a narrow victory.

Stats

Liverpool have seen & over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 9 home matches (Premier League)
Liverpool won 8 of their last 10 home matches (Premier League)
Liverpool have seen over 3.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches (Premier League)
Newcastle lost 6 of their last 7 matches against Liverpool

Head to Head

Liverpool and Newcastle have met on 18 previous occasions over the past decade. The Reds have dominated the fixture, claiming 11 wins since Newcastle's last victory back in 2015.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool strengthened their grip on the Premier League title with an impressive 2-0 win at Manchester City on Sunday. First-half goals from Mo Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai secured a massive victory for Arne Slot's men.

The Reds now sit 11 points clear at the top of the division, albeit having played one game more than nearest rivals Arsenal.

Unbeaten in 23 Premier League fixtures, the Reds have been dominant at Anfield, scoring eight wins from their last ten home domestic fixtures. Eight of those games saw over 2.5 goals scored, while BTTS occurred in seven.

Liverpool Team News

Head coach Slot has just a couple of injury issues ahead of Wednesday's Premier League contest. Defenders Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are the only expected absentees for the league leaders.

In-form Dutch forward Cody Gakpo could earn a recall after making a late substitute appearance in Sunday's straight-forward win at Man City.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle head to Anfield after edging a seven-goal thriller against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The Magpies raced into a 4-1 first-half lead, with in-form Swede Alexander Isak netting a brace. Despite conceding twice after the break, Eddie Howe's side held firm to secure a crucial 4-3 win in the fight for Champions League qualification.

Often involved in high-scoring encounters, six of Newcastle's last nine games, including each of their last three on the road, saw at least four goals scored.

Up to fifth in the division, the Magpies sit just three points behind third-placed Nottingham Forest but 20 short of the runaway leaders.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle boss Howe has no new injury worries ahead of the trip to Anfield. Joelinton and Sven Botman are likely to remain unavailable this week.

Sandro Tonali is among those likely to earn a recall should Howe opt to freshen his first XI.

Verdict

Liverpool v Newcastle

An entertaining encounter should deliver goals at both ends.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals seem probable, while we could see at least four goals scored in a dramatic home win.
