Newcastle vs Liverpool Predictions

  • Liverpool scored in every away league game last season
  • The Reds hit 2+ goals in five of their last seven visits to Newcastle
  • The Magpies scored more than once in only two of their last seven matches

Newcastle clouded by Isak saga

Newcastle’s build-up to Monday night’s clash with Liverpool has been dominated by the Alexander Isak transfer storm. The striker has made clear his wish to leave for Anfield, leaving Eddie Howe to reshuffle his attack and rely on makeshift options up front. Without a focal point, the Magpies looked blunt against Aston Villa and that could again be a major weakness here.

Reds look ruthless on the road

Liverpool opened their title defence with a thrilling 4-2 win over Bournemouth, with Arne Slot’s side showing plenty of attacking variety. The Reds’ away form was their backbone last season and they have a strong record at St James’ Park, regularly finding the net multiple times.

Newcastle are typically competitive at home, but with Isak unsettled and no natural replacement in the XI, it’s difficult to see them matching the champions for firepower. A repeat of Liverpool’s recent controlled away wins looks likely, with 2-0 an appealing correct score.

Ekitike in the spotlight

While the speculation around Isak continues, Hugo Ekitike has wasted no time making an impression. The French forward has scored in both of his competitive outings so far and is relishing the chance to establish himself in the Liverpool XI. With Salah and Chiesa alongside him, chances should come his way again.

Predictions:

  • Liverpool to win
  • Over 2.5 goals
  • Hugo Ekitike to score anytime
