20:15 Wednesday

Liverpool look to make yet another big step towards the Premier League trophy when they face Newcastle at Anfield this evening.

Liverpool vs Newcastle Prediction 

  • Amidst fears that Liverpool's lead at the top of the table could be cut to five points, the Reds are now 11 points clear at the top of the table heading into Wednesday's welcome of Newcastle following the weekend's results. 
  • Liverpool did drop points in the reverse fixture, conceding a 90th-minute Fabian Schar equaliser. 
  • Newcastle were 4-1 up at the break against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but conceded twice in the second half to set up a nervy finish in front of their own fans. 
  • The Magpies lost their last away Premier League outing, falling to a 4-0 defeat at Manchester City. 
  • Newcastle haven't won a league game at Anfield since April 1994 as goals from Rob Lee and Andy Cole confirmed a 2-0 win for Kevin Keegan's side. 
  • That record is unlikely to fall on Wednesday night with the Reds expected to claim another huge win.
