Liverpool vs Newcastle avant-première

• Liverpool gagne
• Salah va marquer

Liverpool head into this fixture riding high after a statement 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad, a result that extended their lead at the top of the table to 11 points over Arsenal.

With Arne Slot’s side in dominant form, another win at Anfield could edge them even closer to a second Premier League title in five seasons.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are still in the race for a top-four finish after a dramatic 4-3 comeback win against Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

However, their away form remains a major concern, and a trip to Anfield – a ground they haven’t won at in the league since 1994 – represents a massive challenge.

Chiffres clés

• Liverpool have won 22 of their last 24 home games played on a Wednesday (D2).
• The Reds have scored at least twice in each of their last 17 home games.
• Newcastle have lost 13 of their last 17 Premier League away games on a Wednesday (W2, D2).
• Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 28 home league meetings with Newcastle (W23, D5).
• The Magpies have lost 15 of their last 20 away matches against teams starting the day top of the league (D5).

Liverpool: Can They Edge Closer to the Title?

Liverpool’s commanding 2-0 win over Manchester City was another title-defining moment, and their home form makes them overwhelming favourites here.

Arne Slot’s men have been unstoppable at Anfield, averaging over three goals per game at home in the league this season.

Reasons for Optimism

• Unbeaten at Anfield in the Premier League this season.
• Mohamed Salah is in superb form, contributing to both goals against City.
• Newcastle’s poor record at Anfield (last league win in 1994).
