Tip Newcastle – Liverpool
Newcastle United’s recent rise is set for a stern test when they play host to title-chasing Liverpool. The two sides have been doing well lately and going into this game hosts Newcastle United are ninth on 43 points while Liverpool are second on 79 points. In the first leg of the season, Newcastle were serious relegation candidates but as things stand, they’ve already secured their stay in the top flight. That was achieved in the 3-0 win over Norwich in their last game. That was their fourth straight win and third clean sheet in four matches. They have a good home run, going into this game on five straight wins at St. James’ Park. They have however registered no win in their last 10 matches against Liverpool. In the first meeting this season, Liverpool came from behind to win 3-1 at Anfield with goals from Diogo Jota, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander after Jonjo Shelvey’s early opener for Newcastle. One player who has really excelled in this fixture is Salah; the Liverpool forward has netted six times in the last eight meetings.
Liverpool head into this game just a point behind Manchester City and looking to go above the champions in the title chase. It follows that this is a very important game for the Reds and they can go top for at least a few hours, as City play later on Saturday. They are in great form; unbeaten in 11 matches, having won nine of them. The only times they’ve seemed shaky in that run were against Manchester City and Benfica in the Champions League. Those two games ended 2-2 and 3-3 respectively. The Reds are coming from another good showing, in the Champions League, where they beat Villarreal 2-0 in the first leg of their semifinal tie. With that result, Liverpool registered a third straight clean sheet and fourth straight win.
