Newcastle host Liverpool in Premier League action, with both sides looking to find momentum in the early phase of the campaign. Newcastle enter this clash having won just one of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg, a 1-2 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, and a 1-3 loss to Everton. Defensive absences could pose challenges for the hosts, who are missing Joelinton, D. Burn, V. Livramento, and L. Miley due to injuries.
Liverpool travel north after a mixed recent run featuring two wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last five outings—most recently drawing 0-0 with Como following a 2-3 defeat to Monaco and a 2-4 loss against Leeds. The visitors are also navigating squad absences, with C. Bradley, H. Ekitike, J. Gomez, and G. Leoni sidelined with injury concerns.
Historically, this fixture has heavily favoured Liverpool. Across the last 10 meetings between the two teams, Liverpool have secured 8 victories, with 1 draw and just 1 win for Newcastle. Furthermore, goals are typically frequent in this matchup, with past encounters averaging 3.6 goals per game and 70% exceeding the 2.5 goal mark.
