Arne Slot’s title-chasing Liverpool and Eddie Howe’s top-four-chasing Newcastle United, face off in a crucial midweek clash at Anfield on Wednesday.
🔴Liverpool Aim to Extend Unbeaten Home Run | Home Win = 1.48💵
Liverpool sit comfortably at the Premier League summit, 11 points clear of Arsenal after a professional 2-0 win at Manchester City. Slot’s men have been formidable at Anfield, going unbeaten in their last 17 home matches, scoring at least two goals in each.
The Reds thrive in midweek Premier League fixtures, winning their last 12 such games. With Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai in fine form, Liverpool will look to maintain their title charge against a Newcastle side they haven’t lost to at home since 1994.
⚫Newcastle Seek Rare Anfield Victory | Away Win = 6.36💵
Despite recent defensive struggles, conceding nine goals in their last three league games, Newcastle approach this fixture with renewed confidence after edging Nottingham Forest 4-3. Alexander Isak, with 19 Premier League goals, is spearheading the Magpies’ top-four push.
Newcastle, however, face an uphill battle having failed to win any of their last 16 Premier League encounters with Liverpool. Eddie Howe’s men will need to improve defensively to break their long-standing Anfield jinx.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Liverpool’s only absentees are Bradley, Gomez, and Morton. Gakpo could start after recovering from injury, potentially replacing Szoboszlai, who showed fatigue against City. Salah, needing just one goal to reach double figures at home and away this season, remains the Reds’ biggest threat.
Newcastle, meanwhile, remain without Jamaal Lascelles and Joelinton, although Sven Botman might return from a minor knee issue. Isak’s scoring prowess will be crucial, while Jacob Murphy and Lewis Miley provide additional attacking support.
