Newcastle will hope to halt the relentlessness of Liverpool’s early season form as the league leaders visit St James’ Park on Matchday 14 of the Premier League.
The Reds are amidst the run of fixtures that a lot of fans and media outlets challenged them to come through unscathed, and they are doing a great job so far, beating champions Manchester City last Sunday to extend their current winning run to four games.
With a nine-point lead at the top of the table going into this round of fixtures, Liverpool will be difficult to stop, so it will take one of those special nights on Tyneside to disrupt this impressive march toward the Premier League title.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool Preview
Newcastle have struggled for consistency this season, with the positive bubbles of good results bursting too quickly, leaving their ambitions of a return to European football languishing in midtable.
It was the overachievements of the 2022-23 season that raised expectations on Tyneside and have been difficult to replicate, with financial rules limiting the club’s ability to build on the success of returning to the Champions League. They finished last season in 7th, unlucky to miss out on Europe due to Manchester United’s unlikely FA Cup win.
Still, if there is a scenario which Newcastle are quite reliable in, it is when the big boys visit St James’ Park, and the fans can display why they are considered some of the best supporters in the country. The unforgiving atmosphere that they can create at home has already resulted in wins over Tottenham (2-1) and Arsenal (1-0) this season, so there will be hope that they can up their game for the visit of Liverpool.
That hope might be in short supply as the Reds look to consolidate their position as title favourites by extending their unbeaten run vs the Magpies to 16 matches, which includes winning the last six in a row.
Add this to the fact they have just completed a week that included beating Real Madrid and City comfortably, and there is not a lot more praise that can be given to Arne Slot’s team.
Despite assertions that the only reason they were able to pull away at the top of the table so soon was because of a favourable fixture list, they have dispelled those claims by continuing to win games regardless.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Outcome and Both To Score – Liverpool and No @ 3.25
Liverpool have the best defensive record in the league so far this season, while Newcastle have struggled to score goals on a regular basis this term. So, you can see the logic in this tip.
Liverpool Last Goalscorer – Mohamed Salah @ 3.25
Everyone knows Salah can score at any time, but in order to add a bit of value to your bet, we are specifically tipping him to score Liverpool’s last goal, whenever that may come.
Player To Score by Header – Virgil van Dijk @ 15.00
Van Dijk is an obvious aerial threat and he came very close to scoring three times against City, so it makes sense to back him to maintain this threat.
