Liverpool vs Newcastle United prediction and odds: Mo Salah to torment Eddie Howe's side

Liverpool will be looking for their eighth consecutive win in all competitions when they welcome Newcastle United to Anfield in their next Premier League match.

Liverpool are the heavy favourites at 1/10 with Grosvenor Sport while Newcastle are 20/1 longshots and a draw is 19/2.

The Reds saw off Aston Villa 1-0 at the weekend as Steven Gerrard returned to Anfield for the first time since leaving the club while the Magpies suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat and are still down in the relegation zone.

Jurgen Klopp's side sit four points behind league leaders Manchester City while Chelsea are just a point behind the Merseyside club as the title looks set to be an exciting one with the festive period fast approaching.

Team stats

  • Newcastle has the biggest return rate for both teams to score with 11 out of 16 league matches finishing like this while Liverpool have finished just six with both sides scoring. Both sides to not score is 13/20.
  • Liverpool have finished 12 of their 16 Premier League matches with three or more goals while Newcastle have only finished half their league matches like this. Over 3.5 goals is 4/5.

Player to watch

Mo Salah and Diogo Jota are the ones to keep an eye on in this match.

Salah is arguably in the best form of his career having found the net 21 times so far this season already including 14 in the Premier League and nine assists too.

He will be looking for an opportunity to stat-pad before he goes to the African Cup of Nations early next year and this match will be a great chance to do so.

Meanwhile, Diogo Jota will be another threat at Liverpool's disposal as the forward looks to add to his tally of eight goals so far this season. He is 4/5 to score anytime.

H2H

This is the 180th meeting between the two sides with Liverpool picking up 86 wins and 44 draws while Newcastle won 49 of them.

Last season, both matches finished as draws.
