Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction, lineup, betting tips and odds

The Magpies held the Reds to a draw in their last league meeting.

Liverpool are all set to go head-to-head against Newcastle United in match week 27 of the Premier League 2024-25 season at home. Arne Slot’s men are the table-toppers in the league as of now. The Reds have secured 19 wins in their 27 league games. Eddie Howe’s men are in the fifth spot, having won 13 matches in the same number of games.

Liverpool will be at home and are also coming in after bagging an easy win over Manchester City in their last Premier League contest. The Reds are comfortable at the top of the table and a win in their next league game will keep their lead intact with room for error. In their last league outing against the Magpies, Liverpool had a loose defence due to which they conceded three goals.

Newcastle United will be looking to enter the top four and that can only happen if they go on to defeat Liverpool here. They can score goals as seen in their last few outings. The Magpies have to work on their defence so that they can restrict the Reds from scoring. Eddie Howe’s men have been in decent form. They won their last Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.
