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.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 5.58💵

⚽Liverpool’s last five home matches have ended in victory, with at least two goals scored in each. | Specials Market: Home & Over 3.5 = 2.55

⚽Newcastle drew 3-3 with Liverpool in their first league meeting against Slot’s men this season and would be heading into this one. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & (Yes to GG) = 1.73

With Liverpool’s relentless form and Newcastle’s attacking threat, fans can expect a high-intensity clash.

On Wednesday, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid lock horns in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final clash at the Reale Arena. La Real, dreaming of a fourth Copa del Rey title, faces a Madrid side looking to claim the trophy for the 21st time in their history.

Sociedad, on the back of an impressive run, will aim to capitalise on home advantage. Meanwhile, Los Blancos, fresh from a crucial La Liga win over Girona, seek an away lead to edge closer to another domestic final.

🔵La Real Eye First-Leg Advantage at Home | Home Win = 3.94💵

Imanol Alguacil’s side head into this fixture in fine form, winning five of their last six matches in all competitions. Their latest 3-0 La Liga victory over Leganes highlighted their attacking prowess, with Kubo, Zakharyan, and Olasagasti all on the scoresheet.

Sociedad’s home record is formidable, boasting 11 wins in their last 13 competitive games at the Reale Arena. Despite being underdogs, their recent form and strong defensive setup give them hope of establishing a crucial first-leg lead.

🤍Real Madrid Target Lead in Semi-Final Tie | Away Win = 1.98💵

Real Madrid come into this clash riding high after a 2-0 league win over Girona, courtesy of goals from Modric and Vinicius Jr. Carlo Ancelotti’s men will look to continue their three-game winning streak against Sociedad, including a 2-0 win at the Reale Arena in September.

With ambitions of a quadruple this season, Los Blancos will be eager to gain an away advantage, knowing a win here could ease pressure ahead of the return leg at the Bernabeu.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Sociedad will miss Traore, Sucic, and Pacheco due to injuries, with Aguerd joining the side-lined list after his injury against Leganes. Zakharyan is a doubt after being withdrawn at halftime in their last match. Zubeldia and Becker return from suspension, while Oyarzabal could start.

For Real Madrid, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal remain out with long-term injuries. Jude Bellingham returns from suspension, while Lunin is set to start in goal with Guler and Endrick more likely to come on for Mbappe & Rodrygo than starting.

Tottenham Hotspur welcomes Premier League champions Manchester City to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday in what is sure to be a very entertaining game for football fans.

Ange Postecoglou’s men seek a historic feat of beating both Manchester clubs thrice in a single season, while City aims to bounce back after recent stumbles.  

🤍Spurs Eye Fourth Straight League Win | Home Win = 3.24💵

Tottenham has rediscovered form with three consecutive Premier League wins, highlighted by a 4-1 thrashing of Ipswich Town. Brennan Johnson’s brace and Son Heung-min’s double assists underlined their attacking resurgence.

Spurs have scored in their last 18 home matches, showing renewed defensive solidity. Postecoglou’s men will be motivated by their previous 4-0 and 2-1 victories over City this season and the chance to achieve a rare triple over the Manchester giants.  

🔵City Seek Redemption After Liverpool Setback | Away Win = 2.12💵

Manchester City’s title defence was over long ago but more so now with a 2-0 loss to Liverpool, marking their third defeat in four matches. Erling Haaland’s absence has hampered their attack, which failed to score against the Reds, ending a 16-game scoring streak.

Despite clinging to fourth place, City’s away form is concerning with just two wins in their last nine league trips—both against relegation-threatened teams. Pep Guardiola’s side must rediscover their cutting edge to avoid slipping further in the top-four race.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Tottenham remains without key players like Romero, and Richarlison, but Maddison and Porro are set to return to the starting XI. Spurs will lean on Son and Kulusevski’s creativity and Johnson’s recent scoring form to challenge City’s defence.

City’s injury woes persist with doubts over Haaland’s involvement. Rodri, Bobb, Akanji, and Stones are ruled out, while De Bruyne may be rotated out after starting against Liverpool. Foden and Marmoush will be key to City’s attacking hopes if he remains sidelined.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.17💵

⚽Tottenham has won their last two meetings with City this season, including a comprehensive 4-0 victory. Spurs have scored first in four of their last five home games. | Main Market: Home (1x2 - Early Pay-out) = 2.95 

⚽Neither City nor Spurs have been able to beat the other three straight times in a row since 2017/2018 when City beat Spurs in 3 straight meetings, except all did not occur in one season. | Specials Market: Draw/Away & Over 2.5 = 1.85

Both teams are under pressure—Spurs for European qualification and City to maintain their top-four standing—setting up a compelling and high-stakes midweek clash.
