In their last three matches, Newcastle lost 1-0 against Arsenal, 0-1 against Everton and drew 0-0 with Aston Villa. Newcastle have been in potent form at St James' Park, winning no less than five of the past six Premier League matches here. They also hammered in 16 goals, while letting in three as they also lost once.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool have two draws and a win to show from their previous three matches. They started with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. This was followed by another draw with Crystal Palace, this time 2-2, before they outclassed Bournemouth by 4-2. Liverpool won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says 11 goals conceded and ten scored.

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