Newcastle United vs Liverpool: Premier League Records, Stats, Goals at St James' Park, Head to Head & everything to know

Liverpool will be keen to build on from their latest win when they travel to St James’ Park for a difficult Premier League assignment. The Saturday night contest will be extremely difficult to call for various reasons. Despite not having a season to remember, the Reds are the only side to defeat Newcastle in the league this season. Meanwhile, the Magpies have conceded the least number of goals in the league till now with 13. Hence, it will be interesting to see if Liverpool’s formidable attack can breach through Newcastle’s defence for a second time this campaign.

Both sides are not where many anticipated them to be at this point in the season. At the start of the campaign, Liverpool were expected to fight for the Premier League title or at the very least be among the top four positions. However, it is Newcastle United who are placed fourth, while the Reds are languishing down in mid-table positions. Despite their places in the league table, both sides have not been in the best of form so far this year, hence it will be difficult to predict a winner in this game. Having said that Liverpool will be heading into this contest on the back of winning the Merseyside derby against Everton 2-0.
