Newcastle United vs Liverpool 27.08.2023 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Newcastle United and Liverpool face off against each other in the third round of the Premier League on 27 August, Sunday. While Newcastle are ranked in the eighth position of the league table with just three points to their name, Liverpool are perched upon the fifth position of the same standings with four points inside their kitty. There is little to separate these two teams.

Key Highlights 

Newcastle, who have become a force to reckon with in the Premier League after their takeover by the new ownership group, were beaten by Liverpool by a 0-2 scoreline the last time these two teams met against each other, in February earlier this year. They have won just four out of the 24 games recorded between these two teams in the past.

Injury Report

Joe Willock and Emile Krafth are among some of the players of Newcastle United who will not be available for selection in this game owing to injuries. Liverpool, on the other hand, will have to make do without the services of Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones.

Prediction

Neither Newcastle nor Liverpool appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Newcastle can play through the wings and will be looking to challenge the Reds on the counter. Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, on the other hand, are known for their strong possession skills. Not to mention a certain Mohamed Salah.
