Newcastle United v Liverpool Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.30pm UK Time, Wednesday 4th December 2024
Liverpool effectively ensured that Man City are no longer in the Premier League title race with a convincing 2-0 win over the defending champions at Anfield, one day after Newcastle United were forced to share the spoils with Crystal Palace.
Foregone conclusion
Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah – the latter from the penalty spot – ensured that Liverpool opened up a huge eleven-point gap over Manchester City, while Arne Slot’s men sit a comfortable nine points clear of second-placed Arsenal and third-placed Chelsea after thirteen rounds of fixtures. Never before in the history of the Premier League has a team failed to lift the title after enjoying at least a six point lead at this stage of the campaign and while the Reds are brushing aside all before them, many believe that the title race is a foregone conclusion.
Continued inconsistency
Point dropped away from home have been a regular feature for Newcastle United although the Magpies were just a couple of minutes away from securing the spoils at Selhurst Park last time out, Daniel Munoz scoring a late equaliser for Crystal Palace after Mark Guehi had gifted the visitors a lead after sending the ball into his own net earlier in the game. Newcastle’s continued inconsistency is holding them back in their European ambitions and as things stand they sit in eleventh position in the Premier League table.
Liverpool juggernaut
Newcastle’s star striker Alexander Isak received an apparent hip injury in the clash with Crystal Palace and it’s far from clear whether he will make a start here. Nevertheless, his absence would be a big set-back for the Magpies against the Premier League’s best defence. Howe’s side have been wanting in front of goal on home soil, even with Isak on the field, and the likelihood is that the Liverpool juggernaut will rip through the home side on their way to three more points.
Back Liverpool to win-to-nil at best odds of 11/4
