Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Liverpool are at 1/7, a draw is at 7/1, and Newcastle are at 14/1.
Liverpool will return to domestic football on top of the current PL table with 12 points from their first four matches. They have a two-point gap over Manchester City, the only other side with a reasonable chance of winning the league. On top of that, international week went well for them, with two of their main men in Mane and Salah not even participating and thus staying in town. That’s huge for them, and it should help them add to their two wins and seven goals scored at home so far.
Newcastle, meanwhile, will come into play on a two-match unbeaten run. They began the season with no points out of their first six, but they then grabbed a win over Tottenham in London and then got a draw last time out at home to Watford. Those four points put them in 14th place, though they are still only a point above Aston Villa who are in the relegation zone. There is a lot of work to be done for them escape the threat of the drop, and you have to think this match is very much a ‘bonus’ for them.
Salah and Mane are at 1.57 and 1.72, respectively, via Betfair, to score anytime.
Ladbrokes have no for both sides scoring at 6/10.
Newcastle have already pulled off a spectacular upset of a top six side in defeating Tottenham a few weeks back, but this is a whole new prospect. Liverpool don’t lack creativity or finishing ability, and it’ll show at the final whistle.
Jurgen Klopp only has a couple of worries in regards to injuries at the moment. Persistently injured midfielder Naby Keita remains sidelined while goalkeeper Alisson is still out of action.
One of the big advantages the Reds have coming out of this international break is that Mo Salah and Sadio Mane were both in training all week. That’s going to mean they could quell any problems between each other as well as stay fit without risking injury elsewhere. The two have started extremely well so far, with Salah scoring three goals and racking up two assists and Mane scoring twice and assisting once. This is a complete team, no doubt, but they are at their best when this pair plays at their best, or approaching it.
Liverpool have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:
0-3 win at Burnley
3-1 home win vs Arsenal
1-2 win at Southampton
2-2 draw, penalty win vs Chelsea (UEFA Super Cup)
4-1 home win vs Norwich
Steve Bruce is going through a bit of an injury crisis at the moment, with six key players ruled out for this already tricky trip to Anfield. Defenders Florian Lejuene and DeAndre Yedlin, midfielders Allan Saint-Maximin, and forwards Dwight Gayle and Andy Carroll miss out. Key man Miguel Almiron may not be fit to start due to playing “on the other side of the world,” according to the gaffer.
One of the Magpies’ key men over the last couple of seasons has been center back Fabian Schar. The Swiss man has been at the heart of some great defensive performances, all the while going above and beyond by providing an attacking threat at times. He scored in the draw with Watford, underlining that ability. Up front, Joelinton will need to provide the Tynesiders with an out ball. The Brazilian striker has gotten off the mark with a goal, but it’ll be an improbable sight to see him score in this fixture.
Newcastle have two draws, a win, and two losses in their last five matches:
1-1 home draw vs Watford
1-1 home draw, penalty loss vs Leicester (EFL Cup)
0-1 win at Tottenham
3-1 loss at Norwich
0-1 home loss vs Arsenal
