The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Newcastle United lock horns with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side in an important clash at St. James’ Park on Saturday.
Liverpool are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have struggled to meet expectations so far this season. The Merseyside outfit eased past local rivals Everton by a comfortable 2-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form under Eddie Howe this season. The Magpies were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Bournemouth in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Match Details:

Newcastle vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have shown definitive signs of a resurgence over the past month and will be intent on staking their claim to a place in the top four. The likes of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo are yet to adapt to the Premier League and will look to play their part this weekend.
Newcastle United have a robust squad at their disposal and are on a stellar unbeaten streak at the moment. Liverpool are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Liverpool

Newcastle vs Liverpool Team News
No fewer than three Newcastle starters were forced off through injury during the draw with Bournemouth, where Joe Willock, Allan Saint-Maximin and Almiron were all enforced changes, and the former will expect to sit this one out with a hamstring concern – he could return for next weekend’s EFL Cup final, though.
However, Howe is confident that Almiron will shake off the stamp to his hand, while Saint-Maximin is also nursing a minor knock and could also make a rapid recovery to start here – the same goes for Callum Wilson (hamstring) and Jamaal Lascelles (personal).
The suspended Bruno Guimaraes remains absent alongside Javier Manquillo, Emil Krafth and Matt Targett, while a lack of midfield options could see ex-Liverpool youngster Anthony Gordon come into the fray from the first whistle.
Newcastle vs Liverpool Lineups
Newcastle United:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Almiron, Longstaff, Joelinton; Saint-Maximin, Isak, Gordon
Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo
Newcastle vs Liverpool Odds
We say: Newcastle United 1-1 Liverpool
Liverpool have not drawn a Premier League game away from home since September, but it has been stalemate after stalemate for Newcastle, whose lack of out-and-out midfield options will do them no favours on Saturday.
Whether Liverpool can indeed kick on following Monday’s derby success remains to be seen, but breaking down the resolute Newcastle backline is a tough test for any foe – although the hosts’ record in front of goal still leaves a lot to be desired – and we can envisage yet another low-scoring draw at St James’ Park.
