Newcastle United form and stats

Newcastle United have played 17 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-6-4 (wins-draws-losses). The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Newcastle United has won four games in a row. The Tottenham Hotspur match was the last time out without a victory.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Newcastle United, as their goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has completely shut out the opponents for 251 minutes in the Premier League.

It's back home for Newcastle United, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Norwich City away with the result 3-0. Joelinton (2) and Guimarães found the net in that victory. The talented striker Joelinton bettered all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 8.41 out of 10. Joelinton scored two goals and had 27 successful passes (of 31 total).

Before that, Newcastle had a home game versus Crystal Palace which ended with a victory 1-0.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Newcastle United have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn one and lost three from four games. two defeats by at least two goals.

The Newcastle United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 24 in 17 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 26 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Liverpool collect 34 points from their 16 away matches in the Premier League. 10 victories and 4 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). In general it has been a productive period now for Liverpool as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games.

234 minutes! That's how long the Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Ramses Becker and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

The followers enjoyed Liverpool's previous game versus Villarreal, a Champions League win (2-0) played at home. Defender Alexander-Arnold was the best team player with a rating of 8.34. Alexander-Arnold hit four key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Everton in the Premier League.

The schedule is very tough for Liverpool now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Villarreal is waiting in only three days.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Liverpool are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Liverpool as they have only conceded 15 goals from these away games.
