They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying 12 goals conceded and seven scored.

Newcastle Utd have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Premier League this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

While we don't believe Newcastle Utd are strong enough to prevent Liverpool from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.
