Best odds of 5/6 available at bet365 while publishing.

Leg 1: Lewis Hall 2+ Tackles

Lewis Hall has been one of Newcastle United’s standout performers this season, producing consistently strong defensive numbers. He is averaging 2.58 tackles per 90 minutes across all competitions and his recent outputs reinforce that trend, recording 5, 3, 2, 1 and 5 tackles across his last five appearances.

The matchup significantly strengthens the case. Hall is likely to be tasked with containing Mohamed Salah, a winger who thrives in isolation situations and consistently carries the ball at defenders. That playing style naturally creates repeated tackling opportunities. In this exact fixture last season, Hall registered seven tackles while directly engaging Salah, and the tactical landscape once again points towards heavy defensive involvement.

Leg 2: Harvey Barnes 1+ Shot

Harvey Barnes continues to profile as Newcastle’s most consistent shooting threat. He leads the squad in shots per 90 minutes across all competitions at 2.78, driven by his willingness to shoot from range and his intelligent movement into scoring areas.

Despite being introduced from the bench against PSG in midweek, Barnes still managed two shot attempts in just 22 minutes, underlining his attacking intent. Expected to return to the starting lineup here, he has attempted at least one shot in 15 of his 16 starts this season, making this a highly reliable angle.

Leg 3: Alexis Mac Allister 1+ Shot

Alexis Mac Allister has quietly become a dependable attacking contributor from midfield for Liverpool this season. He is averaging 1.9 shots per 90 minutes across all competitions and has recorded a shot in 10 of his last 11 starts.

Coming off the back of a Champions League brace against Qarabag, Mac Allister will enter this fixture full of confidence. He frequently looks to shoot from outside the penalty area, particularly when Liverpool control territory, making him a strong candidate to register an attempt once again.
