Liverpool Preview: A win of champions
At the weekend, Arne Slot’s red machine went away to defending English champions Manchester City and defeated Pep Guardiola’s side by two goals to nil with first-half strikes from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai.
That was just their third clean sheet in their last ten matches across all competitions, highlighting that the control they showed in the first-half of the campaign isn’t quite there, but they have remained difficult to beat with just one loss in 27 matches so far this season.
Newcastle Preview: An entertaining victory
Newcastle United come into this one on the back of a thrilling 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park the other day. The Magpies went 1-0 down early on before then leading 4-1 at half-time but had to cling on as Forest fought back in the second-half of the match.
The visitors begin the midweek round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top five and the probable UEFA Champions League spots in the Premier League. However, their form has also been shaky since ensuring they would face Liverpool in next month’s EFL Cup final at Wembley.
After proving their worth in a 2-0 win over Man City, Liverpool will look to cement top position when they face Newcastle United on Matchday 27. The Reds are on the right track to regain the Premier League trophy, but manager Arne Slot must warn his men against complacency. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Mohamed Salah, who has found the net in each of the last eight games in all competitions. Fit-again winger Cody Gakpo is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley remain in the treatment room.
The Magpies, on the other hand, are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team beating Nottingham Forest 4-3 in their last game at St. James Park, but given their difficulties on the road, there is a big value in betting on Arne Slot’s troops. The likes of Botman, Joelinton, and Lascelles should be the only absentees in the away team.
Liverpool are all set to go head-to-head against Newcastle United in match week 27 of the Premier League 2024-25 season at home. Arne Slot’s men are the table-toppers in the league as of now. The Reds have secured 19 wins in their 27 league games. Eddie Howe’s men are in the fifth spot, having won 13 matches in the same number of games.
