Liverpool vs Newcastle Prediction

Liverpool Form

Liverpool look good before their upcoming match, in which they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat West Ham by 5-1, before drawing 1-1 with Arsenal. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Burnley 0-2. Liverpool won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Premier League, where they also drew twice and went undefeated. They scored 17 goals and conceded four times.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle got away with only one point from their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Then Luton proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat, just like Nottingham Forest who won 1-3. Newcastle are winless in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew two and lost four. They conceded 14 goals while scoring five themselves.
