In their three most recent EPL games the secured two victories against Manchester City (0-2) and Wolves (2-1) while they played out a draw with Aston Villa (2-2).
Salah, whose contract is up for renewal at the end of the ongoing season, seems to be the only person not distracted by the ensuing negotiations. He has been in fine form this season, scoring 24 goals at the time of writing, and being the tournament’s leading goal scorer.
Liverpool like to make good use of their wings to attack in the final third, and this tactic will be seen in abundance in this match as well. The Reds do not have too many injuries in this game, and they will only have to contend with the absence of Connor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton; this means that they can select their full-strength lineup.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle United are among the very few teams in the Premier League who can stop the Liverpool juggernaut. At the time of writing, they are ranked in the fifth position of the league table with 44 points to their name. In their last two EPL games the secured a dramatic 4-3 victory against Nottingham Forest and a heavy 4-0 defeat against Manchester City.
The likes of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy have been fine at the top of the tree, and implemented coach Eddie Howe’s plans to perfection. In this game against leaders Liverpool, however, Newcastle will have to make do without the services of Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton and Sven Botman, who are all ruled out with injuries.

Harvey Barnes is a doubtful starter due to a thigh injury he sustained this season. Still, the Magpies are known to play a controlled game in which they do not concede too many chances for their opponents to capitalise upon.
This also allows them to keep possession and dictate the rhythm of the game as and how they like. Liverpool will have to contend with these sudden changes in speed, tempo and rhythm from Newcastle in this match.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-2-3-1): Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Miley; Gordon, Isak, Murphy.
Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win
- Odds: -192 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle United
Liverpool are the undisputed favourites to win this game, especially since they are playing at home. We expect them to do so without losing too much of sleep about it.
Slot will be keen on wrapping up the Premier League title as soon as possible and with as little fuss as he can, and this game will surely propel his team forward if they end up picking up three points at the end of it.
Newcastle have never beaten Liverpool at Anfield, with the hosts winning 10 out of the 13 games played between the teams and the other three being played out as drawn encounters.
Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -179 (20Bet)
Both teams will be expected to score in this game since they boast of excellent attacking players. These attackers will hope to extract space for themselves in the final third and dictate proceedings by overcoming opposition defenders.
Manager Arne Slot has been brilliant at the helm this season, and showcased why he is so highly rated. Liverpool have been exquisite, especially in their passing game all season, and this will hold them in good stead here as well.
