Head to Head

Liverpool have a 93-50 advantage against Newcastle in 187 meetings with 44 draws. The Reds have won 11 of their last 13 against the Toon.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle have dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League after an inconsistent start to the season. The Toon have won just five of their 13 league games and lost four.

Eddie Howe’s side picked up form before the international break with three consecutive wins. They have since earned just one point and lost 2-0 against West Ham in their most recent home game.

The Magpies failed to win again on Saturday and gave up a 1-0 lead during a 1-1 with Crystal Palace. Newcastle had 0.02-2.3 XG and led through a Palace own goal before conceding in the 94th minute.

Newcastle Injuries & Team News

Top scorer Alexander Isak came off in the first half against Palace and is unlikely to feature here. Harvey Barnes, who has five Premier League goal contributions, is expected to replace Isak here.

Defensive trio Sven Botman, Emil Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles are injured and unavailable for selection.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool are flying at the top of the Premier League table and have a nine-point lead over Arsenal. Arne Slot’s outfit have won 11 of 13 league matches.

The Reds are unbeaten in 16 consecutive matches in all competitions and have won 15. They have won seven in a row and returned from November’s internationals with victories over Southampton (3-2) and Real Madrid (2-0).

Slot’s side maintained their impressive form with a convincing 2-0 home win over Man City. Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah hit the net as Liverpool dominated with 3.7-0.75 XG.

Liverpool Injuries & Team News

Diogo Jota, Alisson and Federico Chiesa could return to the squad at St James’ Park following recent injuries.

Defenders Konstantinos Tsimikas, Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are injured and will miss out.

Mo Salah has scored 11 goals in 12 Premier League appearances and is set to start on Wednesday.

Verdict

Newcastle v Liverpool

Newcastle rarely control games and are likely to be punished by a Liverpool side in top form. There is value on backing the Reds to win again in the Premier League.
