Newcastle welcomes Liverpool next as the bookie favourite (when has that ever happened in this century, eh?) so that suits me just fine. Our midfield is creaky and we'll be without Mac Allister but it just means we start with new-look, young combo. Both will be going for the throats but I expect us to over-compensate and outscore them.
I would bet for LFC if it was Anfield. New Castle is on a great ride. Even Man City didn't have a comfortable win at Etihad in the last match against New Castle. It's their home match so no chance for LFC I think. Well, 2.18 for New Castle is a good deal.
