Liverpool vs Newcastle United Preview

Liverpool

The Premier League title race seems to have ended before it could begin as the Reds defeated Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium while Arsenal went down 1-0 to West Ham United opening up an 11-point gap at the top of the table. Arne Slot’s men have only lost a solitary fixture in the ongoing Premier League season and the well-drilled unit looks set for more points at Anfield on Wednesday.

Curtis Jones shined in the performance against Manchester City on the weekend and it would be interesting to see if the midfielder starts yet against Newcastle United in the mid-week fixture.

Newcastle United

On the other hand, Newcastle United’s topsy-turvy season continued on the weekend as they defeated Nottingham Forest 4-3 to continue their challenge for the Champions League spots.

While the Newcastle United attackers are in fine form, the defensive concerns are evident which would make the Toon Army a bit worried as they conceded two late goals from corner routines against Forest at the weekend. All Liverpool needs is a sniff at goal and if the Magpies allow them a sight at goal, Slot’s men would score a goal every day of the week.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United Over/Under Predictions

The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Total goals Over 3.5 @ +100 (MGM Bet): Any match that involves Newcastle United holds the potential for a lot of goals with their attackers firing on all cylinders while their defense continues to leak goals. Alexander Isak’s rich vein of form does bode a good sign for the visitors as the Swede striker has 24 goal involvements in 24 PL matches in the ongoing season and he would be looking to better those stats against the league leaders on Wednesday.

Liverpool Total goals Over 2 @ 1.74 (Parimatch): Liverpool are no strangers to scoring goals as the Reds have scored 64 goals in 27 league matches and are set to continue their hot streak against Eddie Howe’s men. With forwards like Luis Diaz, Mohammed Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai in fine form ahead of the fixture.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United Player Picks

Mohammed Salah (To Score a Goal @ 1.68 as per 1X): Mohammed Salah is chasing records like a cat chases around mouses and the Egyptian king is bound to break some records in the ongoing league season.

The prolific forward has 41 goal involvements (25 goals and 16 assists) in the ongoing PL season and is only 6 goal involvements away from the record jointly held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole who recorded 47 goal involvements each during 42-game seasons back in the day.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United Match Prediction

Liverpool could come out trumps against a leaky Newcastle United defense, especially at home where the Reds haven’t lost a single league match since the second week of September 2024. We predict that 4 goals would be scored and Liverpool would edge the fixture against the Magpies.
