Liverpool carry the stronger attacking trend into St. James Park. They are averaging 2.2 goals across the last five matches, and the away price has been cut sharply in the run-up to kickoff. The current team sheet also lists Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha in attack, with Alisson, Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate forming the spine behind them.

Newcastle's preview is less convincing on recent numbers. They have 1 win in 5 and are allowing 2.2 goals per game across that same stretch. Nick Pope, Sven Botman and Dan Burn should give the home side a platform, but Joelinton and Tino Livramento are listed out. For betting tips and h2h readers, the clearer angle is Liverpool's better scoring rate and the stronger support behind the 1.88 away quote.

Liverpool look set to edge a competitive game, with Liverpool to win - Expected score: 1-2.
