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.
Seriously, I don't really think the match will be an easy one for the two clubs. The performances of the two clubs are not really bad this season, so I think the match will just be kind of difficult to predict for me. The two clubs really need the match, but we all know that Liverpool is currently in first position, and they will want to win the match to increase their point. If they don't win the match, if Manchester City plays and wins their outstanding match, then they might end up taking the first position from Liverpool, so Liverpool will want to do everything possible to win, but Newcastle is also a dangerous club, so the match won't really be an easy one and it will be an interesting one.
Newcastle is undergoing a crisis and is nowhere near the performance level of Liverpool.
Liverpool is 13 points ahead, has not lost a single game in quite a while but Newcastle has lost four of their last five games in a very disappointing manner against inferior opponents. I don't think this is a game that is unpredictable. Of course Newcastle has a chance, but it doesn't look very promising for them because it is unlikely that they can make a U-turn against Liverpool when they were not able to do it against weaker teams before this game.
But it will be a hard fight regardless and I am hoping for Liverpool to win the game.
Eddie Howe is also going through a tougher phase than Erik Ten Hag but I still see that they have always wanted for the repeatedly sack of Erik Ten Hag who won a trophy for Manchester United. Eddie Howe on the other side has nothing to show but the pressure and hate on Manchester United is just too much I must say that. Eddie Howe also took them to the Champions League and failed and brought them back shamefully.
Against Liverpool, it's another Open game, as rival's to to Liverpool, I don't want them to win the game. Not even wining the Premier League Competition. Tonight? Newcastle be going to win.
