Liverpool vs Newcastle Preview
Amazingly, Liverpool are now 23 games unbeaten in the Premier League, their only defeat this season coming to Nottingham Forest at Anfield way back in September.
There is a reason why Arne Slot’s side, which is as adaptable as it is loaded with superstar quality, is regularly referred to as the best in Europe right now.
So this dress rehearsal for next month’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley looks a tall order for Newcastle, who have been inconsistent of late.
A shock 2-1 home loss to Fulham in the league was followed by a 4-0 thrashing at Manchester City, results which had many questioning their Top 4 potential.
But last Sunday’s 4-3 win over Forest, albeit with a nervy ending, was a welcome reminder of the class possessed by Eddie Howe’s team.
However, if Liverpool’s centre-back partnership of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate can nullify Alexander Isak this evening, it is hard to see how the Magpies can get a foothold in the game.
The Swede bagged a brace against Forest but will almost certainly not be afforded a similar number of chances to strike at Anfield.
When the two sides met at St James’ Park in December, a late Fabian Schar goal salvaged a 3-3 draw for Newcastle after a brace from the Premier League’s best player in Mohamed Salah looked to have secured all three points.

Liverpool vs Newcastle Betting Tips
Mohamed Salah to score anytime @ 1.89
Salah has scored in 10 of Liverpool’s last 12 Premier League matches and has 25 goals overall. Yeah, that is all we really need to say here.
Alexander Isak to score anytime @ 2.95
Isak has 19 goals in 24 top-flight appearances this season and if Newcastle are to strike, their talisman and penalty taker will likely be responsible. If he is allowed time and space, though…
Liverpool to win the first half @ 1.95
The Reds are world-renowned for their fast approach to matches at Anfield, so expect them to be leading at half-time.
