Arsenal has failed to win two of their last Premier League matches which has made them drop to the fourth position in the Premier League table this season. Liverpool is topping Aston Villa with a point difference but Liverpool has an outstanding game. If Liverpool wins the outstanding game they will top with 3 points difference over Aston Villa. Liverpool might find it difficult to win matches because they will be without Salah who will be going for the African Cup Nation.
Newcastle United is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Liverpool isn't tough enough when competing at home in today's match. Because even without Salah, Liverpool still has to be considered as a strong team this season because so far Liverpool's strength is still visible, so it is not worth underestimating Liverpool just because one of their mainstay players is going to the Africa Cup of Nations. Today's match for Liverpool will probably be much more interesting because Liverpool really need to distance themselves from Aston Villa who are currently starting to continue to show their fangs and skills in every match.
