Match Preview: Newcastle vs Liverpool
Arne Slot and his Liverpool squad are in great form as they prepare for the 120-mile trek to St James’ Park this week.
Since taking over from Jurgen Klopp, the 46-year-old has guided his team to 18 wins in 20 competitive matches, with Liverpool scoring 47 goals and conceding only 12, while securing an impressive 11 clean sheets.
Currently, Liverpool is leading the Premier League table, a reassuring nine points ahead after a strong win against Manchester City on Sunday, marking their seventh consecutive victory across all competitions.
The bookmakers have identified Liverpool as favorites to clinch the Premier League title, particularly with Pep Guardiola’s defending champions currently struggling.
When Liverpool won their first Premier League title in the 2019-20 season, they had gathered 37 points from the same number of matches, just three points more than their current standing.
The team is very likely aiming to hit that 37-point benchmark against a Newcastle side that is struggling.
Eddie Howe’s team recently suffered an unexpected 2-0 defeat at home to a struggling West Ham, followed by a late equalizer conceded against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Currently sitting in 11th place, Newcastle has managed just TWO shots on target in their last two games, which is the fewest of any team in the league.
Furthermore, they could be without crucial player Alexander Isak, who was substituted in the first 25 minutes of the draw at Selhurst Park.

Betting insights and predictions for Newcastle vs Liverpool
Win to Nil Prediction
Considering Newcastle’s struggles in attack and Liverpool’s solid defense, I predict an away victory without conceding at St James’ Park this Wednesday.
As noted, Newcastle has recorded only two shots on target in their last two games against struggling teams West Ham and Crystal Palace, who are ranked fifth and eighth respectively in expected goals conceded (xGC) this season.
The likely absence of Alexander Isak could pose further problems against a Liverpool side boasting the league’s best defensive record.
Slot’s team has allowed the fewest goals (8), achieved the most clean sheets (7), and managed wins against both Manchester City and Real Madrid without conceding, showcasing the best away form in the league.

Cody Gakpo to Shine
Cody Gakpo has been in remarkable form lately, scoring six goals in his last seven matches for Liverpool, including goals against Manchester City and Real Madrid in his two latest outings.
Notably, in the last six Premier League matches, only Mohamed Salah has surpassed Gakpo’s 13 efforts on goal. Additionally, he has a commendable scoring record against Newcastle, having netted two goals in three victories.
