Newcastle v Liverpool

Newcastle vs Liverpool Preview

A 1-1 draw away from home at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on the weekend would have felt like a loss for Eddie Howe and his side as The Magpies conceded a late, late equaliser in the nation's capital and the north-east club now need to pick themselves up despite returning home to their St James' Park.

Liverpool meanwhile continued their impressive form under new manager Arne Slot as The Reds heaped further misery upon Manchester City with a solid 2-0 home win at Anfield as City just couldn't lay a glove on the merseyside club on Sunday afternoon.

Newcastle United have now managed to collect just two wins from their last nine games overall in the Premier League which came in the shape of rare victories against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest but the damage has been done after being handed four defeats within this period as well.

The Magpies have been dealt losses by the likes of Fulham, Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham respectively and these recent losses have resulted in Newcastle United dropping down the top flight table to a disappointing 11th place ahead of this tough looking encounter against Liverpool on Wednesday night.

Having managed to win just once in their last four games on home soil at St James' Park, the Geordies are more than likely bracing themselves.

Liverpool made a statement of intent on Sunday afternoon as they brushed aside a poor Manchester City outfit at Anfield with a solid 2-0 home win which has handed Arne Slot's side a healthy looking nine-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table.

Since slipping to an inexplicable 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest, Liverpool have simply not looked back as The Reds have put together an impressive nine-game unbeaten sequence in the English top flight which consists of an even more impressive eight wins in the process.

An ominous sign for Wednesday night's upcoming hosts Newcastle United is the fact that Liverpool have scored in each of their last nine games in the Premier League along with keeping four clean sheets within this period as well.

The wider picture shows Liverpool have been handed just the one defeat in their last 17 matches overall in the English top flight and having also picked up no fewer than 13 victories in the process, the merseyside visitors look to be well placed to chalk up another three points at Newcastle United's expense on Wednesday night.

Newcastle United v Liverpool Verdict
