Newcastle United vs Liverpool Prediction

Newcastle United Form

Consistency has not been a trademark for Newcastle United recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea. This was followed by a 5-1 win against Aston Villa, before they lost 1-0 against Manchester City. Newcastle United claimed four wins in their last six Premier League matches at the St James' Park. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded six and scored 18 goals.

It might be a bit of a long shot to fight for the title, but following their fourth place finish last season, Newcastle United are certainly hoping to make it to the podium this season.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 4-4 against Southampton. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Chelsea in a 1-1 draw, before taking out Bournemouth in a 3-1 win. Liverpool won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, going undefeated as they drew three draws and lost none. They scored 16 goals whilst conceding seven.

The big goal of the season for Liverpool has to be winning the title, with a place inside the top four expected as the Premier League action starts to unfold.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Newcastle United get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Liverpool.
