Liverpool vs Newcastle tips
Our Bet Builder selections: Liverpool win, BTTS – No, Mohamed Salah to score and Dominik Szoboszlai to assist at 14/1. ADD TO YOUR BET SLIP HERE!
Here’s why we’ve made those selections..
- Liverpool win: Liverpool can take confidence from their dominant recent record against Newcastle. The Magpies are winless in their last 17 encounters with the Reds, including their clash at Anfield just 18 days ago. Newcastle have suffered 12 defeats in that spell, conceding 38 goals.
- BTTS – No: The absence of Anthony Gordon is really damaging, as no Newcastle player comes close to the 49 chances he has created this season. Meanwhile, Lewis Hall, their fourth-highest creator with 34, is also unavailable. In total, Newcastle are without two players responsible for nearly 30% of their Premier League chances this season.
- Mohamed Salah to score: The Egyptian king, 32, is enjoying another stellar campaign and has a cracking record against Newcastle having scored 10 goals in 17 meetings.
- Dominik Szoboszlai to assist: The Hungarian international has fashioned 40 opportunities for his teammates in the 2024-25 league campaign, with nine classified as big chances – a figure bettered only by Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Szoboszlai also ranks third for touches in the opposition penalty area and has an expected assists (xA) figure of 4.19.
