Only a win will satisfy the Liverpool supporters in this Anfield clash with Newcastle United, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier League table.
- Liverpool have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
Liverpool and Newcastle United should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Liverpool form and stats
Liverpool have collected 26 points from their Premier League home games so far after 8-2-6.
The home team returns to Anfield after being equal after 90 minutes with Leeds United (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Real Madrid that ended 0-0.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Liverpool home games with this odds we find seven games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in five wins, zero draws and two defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
A decent goal production from Liverpool in their home games so far, with 24 goals from 16 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
Newcastle United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Newcastle United so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-9 (win-draw-lose).
Newcastle are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Premier League against West Ham United (placed 4th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Burnley.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager S. Bruce when Joseph Willock scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Newcastle played away with similar odds. This revealed six games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected five times.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Newcastle United as they have only managed to score 13 times from 16 away games in the league. Newcastle's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Newcastle United - Liverpool 0-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - three - one (Liverpool wins - draws - Newcastle United wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
