Newcastle have only lost one game in the league this season, and that came in the reverse fixture back in October with Liverpool winning 2-1 on that day.
Newcastle’s defensive record this season has been nothing short of outstanding, the lost to Liverpool is the only game this season that has seen Newcastle concede more than one goal in the same game.
Conceding only 13 goals in 22 league games has helped Eddie Howe’s side maintain a top four spot.
Although Liverpool have scored one more goal than today’s opposition, it’s their inability to keep out teams that has caused them to sit 9th in the league. But after an impressive victory over Merseyside rivals Everton on Monday, a win today will give Liverpool fans. Slight hope of a European spot finish this season.
You’ve got to go back to 2015 to find Newcastle last victory over Liverpool. 12 Liverpool wins out of the last 15 meetings shows the upper hand Liverpool have over The Magpies.
Both sides need to win this game, and I’ll be surprised if both sides don’t find the back of the net.
Bet Prediction: Draw
