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.
I want to ensure that Liverpool extends its stay at the top of the standings from today's match against Newcastle. The visiting team, which recently seems to have lost its style of play, should give Liverpool an advantage. Headtohead both show that Newcastle have never tasted victory since 2021. Apart from that, the challenge of Edie Howe troops continues against Manchester City. It is not easy for Newcastle to win, their position in the standings is also in danger of continuing to fall. The fate of repeating last season's performance seems unlikely to happen again, and Newcastle will certainly miss out on a UCL ticket next season.
