The midfield is further bolstered by Harvey Lewis Barnes, who has a rating of 6.85 and has already made his mark with an assist and two shots on target. Sean David Longstaff, another key midfielder for Newcastle, has an impressive rating of 6.86, with two goals and a significant contribution in passes, making him a player to watch.

Recent Form

Liverpool's recent form has been solid, with their last five games resulting in three wins and two draws, placing them second in the league with 38 points. They've shown incredible strength at home, winning 7 out of 8 games. With a goal difference of +21, they've been formidable in both attack and defense.

Newcastle, currently ranked sixth with 29 points, have had a mixed bag of results with two wins and two losses in their last five fixtures. Their away form has been less convincing, with only one win out of eight games on the road.

Head-to-Head History

The head-to-head record between the two teams favors Liverpool, with the Reds winning all three of the most recent encounters. On August 27, 2023, Liverpool edged out Newcastle with a 2-1 victory at St. James' Park. Before that, on February 18, 2023, Liverpool secured a comfortable 2-0 win, and on August 31, 2022, they triumphed with a close 2-1 scoreline at Anfield.

Prediction

The predictions are leaning heavily towards a Liverpool victory or at least a draw, with a 'Double chance: Liverpool or draw' being the advised bet. The statistical analysis gives Liverpool a total percent home win chance of 64.8% against Newcastle's 35.2%. The poisson distribution also favors Liverpool with an 80% chance to Newcastle's 20%. Moreover, in head-to-head encounters, Liverpool has dominated with a 100% record against Newcastle's 0%.

With both teams boasting key players who can turn the game on its head, it's expected to be a tight contest. However, Liverpool's superior form, especially at home, and their historical advantage over Newcastle, suggests they are the favorites to come out on top in this fixture.

In conclusion, while Newcastle will undoubtedly put up a fight, the strength and consistency of Liverpool, especially with the likes of Wataru Endo, Harvey Daniel James Elliott, and Cody Mathès Gakpo on their side, should see them secure a win or at the very least, a draw. Expect a game with intense midfield battles, strategic plays, and potentially a few goals, but with Liverpool likely to maintain their stronghold at Anfield.
