Preview: Liverpool vs Newcastle Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Reds have already defeated the Magpies once this season.

The ‘Alexander Isak derby’ is here again as Liverpool FC are now gearing up to have a face-off against Newcastle United for their matchweek 24 clash of the 2025-26 Premier League. Anfield is all set to witness this intense outing between these clubs.

The Arne Slot-led Liverpool secured a dominating win in their final league phase game of the UEFA Champions League and sealed a round of 16 spot. They will now shift their focus back to the English football top division. The Reds fell prey to Bournemouth in their previous league outing and despite being at home, they will not be fully confident.

Newcastle United have also not been very consistent with their performances and the upcoming game is not going to be an easy outing for them. They were completely outplayed by Aston Villa in their last Premier League fixture and this is going to keep them under pressure for their next one.

• Stadium: Anfield
• Date: Sunday, February 1
• Kick-off Time: 01:30 a.m. IST (Saturday, Jan 31; 08:00 p.m. GMT/ 03:00 p.m. ET/ 12:00 p.m. PT)

Players to Watch

Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool)

Alexis Mac Allister is going to play an important role for Liverpool FC in the upcoming contest. He is coming in after netting in a sensational brace for his side in the previous UCL outing. The 27-year-old Argentine is good at regulating the ball in the midfield and is surely capable of scoring goals.

Love it, Macca 😁🏆 pic.twitter.com/YNipJZx1gV

Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)

Bruno Guimaraes will be a crucial asset for Newcastle United in their upcoming contest. He was on the bench of his side, but was not given any minutes against PSG. The 28-year-old will be looking to step up his game and come up with a top performance, so that he can help his side put up a fighting show against the Reds.
