Liverpool form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Liverpool's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Anfield.

Liverpool's previous game was also played at home, ending 9-0 versus AFC Bournemouth (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Sweet to taste a league victory after three games without one. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Liverpool played a great game against AFC Bournemouth and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Firmino, a natural forward, was the declared top performer for the team in that game, earning a rating of 9.71 (out of 10). Firmino scored two goals, signed up for three assists and hit four key passes.

Heartbreak before that as Liverpool lost 1-2 at Manchester United's place.

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 7 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. Looking at the victories, 3 matches were won by at least two goals.

Liverpool are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Everton awaits in three days.

Liverpool has scored 10 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Newcastle United form and stats

Things could have gone better for Newcastle United in their Premier League away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.

Newcastle United has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a 1-1 draw. Saint-Maximin, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.43. Saint-Maximin scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that, the Carabao Cup win away at Tranmere Rovers. We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Newcastle United played away with similar odds. This revealed 8 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 6 times.

After this away game Newcastle return home for a Premier League game against Crystal Palace. That game is only three sleeps after this.

1 goal so far away for Newcastle United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Liverpool have managed a streak of 11 consecutive games without defeat (7-4-0) when facing Newcastle United.
