Comments and predictions for Newcastle United vs Liverpool: Crush the home team

Liverpool's meteoric rise to the Premier League title continues as they travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

Arne Slot's side dealt a heavy blow to Manchester City's title defence with a 2-0 win over the struggling champions on Sunday, while Newcastle let a win slip away after being held to a 1-1 draw in the final minutes by Crystal Palace the day before.

Latest Newcastle United vs Liverpool squad information

Liverpool kept Manchester City at bay despite having to deal with a heavily damaged defence on Sunday. Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (hamstring) joined Kostas Tsimikas (ankle) and Alisson Becker (hamstring) on ​​the injury list after the Champions League win over Real Madrid.

The short 72-hour break makes it unlikely that all four players will be back on Wednesday, with Diogo Jota (stomach) and Federico Chiesa (fitness) also doubtful, but coach Arne Slot could still make a few familiar changes.

A regular interchange between Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones could take place in midfield, while Darwin Nunez is likely to start in place of Gakpo or Luis Diaz – who continued to play up front in the last match.

As for Newcastle, manager Eddie Howe could also make a change in attack, but this was forced when star striker Alexander Isak had to leave the field with a hip injury in the draw with Crystal Palace last weekend.

However, coach Howe gave positive information after the match, saying that Isak's problem is just a collision injury and not muscle or ligament damage. However, Callum Wilson is likely to make his first Premier League start this season.

Long-term injuries include Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Emil Krafth (shoulder) who are unlikely to return before the new year.

Latest Newcastle United vs Liverpool football prediction

Liverpool followed their pre-match script exactly as they beat Manchester City by a wide margin at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, with Gary Neville commenting that "Liverpool are the men, Man City are the boys." The only surprise in the 2-0 win was that the hosts failed to score more goals against the struggling champions.

Cody Gakpo's close-range finish and Mohamed Salah's successful penalty in the second half helped Liverpool extend the gap with Man City to 11 points. However, coach Pep Guardiola still smiled sarcastically when responding to Liverpool fans with the "6 fingers" gesture to refer to the number of championships he has won with Man City.

However, the more notable "6" is Man City's sixth defeat in the last seven games in all competitions. In addition to increasing the gap to the reigning champions to double digits, Liverpool also now have a nine-point lead over their closest rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, with a third of the season gone.

In Premier League history, no team has ever been at least six points ahead after 13 games and failed to win the title. Many believe this year's title race is all but over, with Liverpool continuing their dominant form, winning each of their last seven games in all competitions.

Notably, in the last eight matches, coach Arne Slot's team has scored at least two goals. Since succeeding Jurgen Klopp, Slot has not lost a single away match, except for a comfortable draw with Arsenal in October.

On the contrary, away form is a constant weakness for Newcastle. Although they almost took all 3 points against Crystal Palace last weekend thanks to an own goal by Marc Guehi, the home team still let Daniel Munoz score an equalizer in the injury time, ending the unfortunate 1-1 draw.

Despite a slight improvement from their 0-2 home defeat to West Ham last week, Newcastle are still out of step in the race for a European ticket, ranking 11th in the rankings, with a gap of only 4 points from the top 4. However, their inconsistent form with only 2 wins in the last 9 matches in the Premier League is making their chances increasingly dim.

Eddie Howe's side are also facing the prospect of losing back-to-back Premier League home games for the third time since the club changed ownership. More worryingly, Newcastle have lost their last six games against Liverpool and have failed to win in their last 15 meetings with the Reds, since a 2-0 win in December 2015 when Georginio Wijnaldum was still playing for the Magpies.
