Liverpool vs Newcastle Predictions

• Liverpool have not lost a home meeting with Newcastle since 1994.
• Newcastle have only won two of their 11 Premier League away games.

Reds look to build on midweek momentum

Liverpool secured a confidence-boosting 6-0 win over Qarabag in midweek, and they may be able to clinch successive wins for the first time this year when Newcastle pay Anfield a visit.

The Reds’ Premier League title defence has been nothing short of a disaster, with pressure heaping on Arne Slot as his side sit 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

However, they have lost just one of their last 15 matches and will take heart from an excellent record at home to Newcastle. They have won their last four home meetings with them and haven’t lost against the Magpies at Anfield since 1994.

Ekitike can make the difference at Anfield

Eddie Howe’s side were fortunate to come away from Paris Saint-Germain with a point in their midweek tie, and they have lost two of their last three Premier League outings.

Newcastle have won just two of their 11 Premier League away games this season, and they look set to fall to defeat at Liverpool on Saturday.

However, the hosts have conceded in six of their last nine at home and may not be able to shut out the visitors. Newcastle have conceded exactly two goals in two of their last three league outings, so a 2-1 correct score prediction appeals.

Hugo Ekitike could be the man to make the difference. He scored and assisted against Qarabag in midweek and has ten combined goals and assists in his last 11 appearances for Liverpool, and he found the net in the reverse fixture in August.
