As the festive football continues in the English Premier League, Liverpool have to play catch up with Manchester City as the race for the top spot intensifies.
Next in line for the Reds are Newcastle who were thumped 4-0 by Leicester in their last outing.
Can the Magpies spring a surprise or will be business as usual for Jurgen Klopp and his men? Take a look at all our Premier League betting tips for expert opinions before every match day.
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool needed a Mohammed Salah penalty to earn a 1-0 win over a resolute Aston Villa manager by former Liverpool legend and former captain, Steven Gerard.
That win meant that Liverpool recorded a back-to-back 1-0 win for only the second time in the top flight under Jurgen Klopp.
The victory over Gerard and his men brought Liverpool’s winning run in all competitions to seven (7) games and they have won without conceding in their last five (5) home fixtures.
The Reds struggled to break down a defensively astute Aston Villa last time out, but Anfield faithful would not envisage such kinds of problems against the struggling Geordies.
NEWCASTLE
Newcastle will need all the time in the world to heal from their 4-0 hammering at the hands of Leicester City at weekend, but the Premier League run of fixtures doesn’t allow for too much time to reflect.
The magpies will be terrified of a trip to Anfield, given their Abysmal record against Liverpool and the form of the hosts.
The appointment of Eddie Howe was greeted with enthusiasm, but the former Bournemouth manager is yet to get into his stride, with a familiar tale still playing out at the St James’ Park.
Newcastle have conceded 34 goals in the Premier League so far, and a trip to Anfield can only increase their deficit.

OUR LIVERPOOL vs NEWCASTLE BETTING TIPS
Despite the low goals output in Liverpool’s last two outings, this looks like a fixture Liverpool will totally dominate. Wolves and Villa were able to limit the rampant Reds to just a single goal, but it is unlikely that Newcastle can repeat the same feat.
Eddie Jose’s men have conceded 34 goals which is the joint highest shipped in by any team along with Norwich. They also let in 11 goals in their last five games, and four of those came in the last fixture against Leicester City.
With the attack of Liverpool, it will be a Herculean task for Newcastle to stop them from breaching their goal on multiple occasions. Therefore, we recommend you put your money on Liverpool to score Over 2.5 goals @ 1.52 on Yangasport.
Still, with the theme of Liverpool’s dominance, Jurgen Klopp’s men will look to get out of the blocks pretty quickly to avoid the problems of the last two games. Newcastle are unlikely to provide an answer to their early probe and pressing and we reckon there will be Over 1.5 goals in the First Half. You can wager on that @ 1.93 on Melbet.
