Newcastle United form and stats
3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Newcastle United so far this season.
No payout for Newcastle United in their previous match, an away game at Manchester City that ended in defeat 0-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Brentford (0-1).
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 have been in this position before, they have won one, drawn one and lost one from three games. one defeat by at least two goals.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Newcastle as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Leicester City are visiting.

Liverpool form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (36) in Premier League, are W2-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Things are running smoothly for Liverpool who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Aston Villa.
Liverpool had fun at their own home (St. James' Park) last time out, beating West Bromwich Albion 1-0. Sadio Mané scored. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Crystal Palace at their stadium, the result 7-0.
As mentioned earlier, Liverpool will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in four wins (four by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.
The Liverpool manager J. Klopp has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 7 league matches. As for defending, Liverpool rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.
