Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium was a statement victory, pushing them 11 points clear of Arsenal, even though they’ve played a game more.
With Arsenal slipping up a day earlier, Arne Slot’s side knew this was a golden opportunity to further cement their claim for a second Premier League title. Both goals came before halftime, and Liverpool’s dominance on the pitch left Manchester City with little to offer in response. Now, the Reds head back to Anfield, where they will be eager to continue their push toward the top, buoyed by their recent form.
Having played four of their last five matches away from home, Liverpool’s return to Anfield is timely. The Kop faithful have enjoyed watching their side rack up impressive results at home, with 22 wins from their last 24 Wednesday Premier League games (and two draws). This incredible home record makes Anfield a fortress, and their attack has been nothing short of relentless. Liverpool has scored at least twice in each of their last 17 home fixtures, a record that they have matched in nearly every one of their last 18 home matches against their next opponents, Newcastle.
Newcastle, however, will bring their own momentum into this fixture after an exciting 4-3 comeback victory over Nottingham Forest. Eddie Howe’s side showed resilience to battle back from behind, securing three crucial points in a high-scoring affair. With only goal difference separating them from the top four as they enter this round, Newcastle’s aspirations for European football remain alive. However, recent form has been less than ideal, with three losses in their last five league outings, alongside two wins. Another defeat here would set them back, and their away form hasn’t been reassuring.
Newcastle’s away record on Wednesdays in the Premier League has been particularly poor, having lost 13 of their last 17 such matches (with just two wins and two draws). This record highlights the challenges they face when traveling, particularly against top-tier sides. Adding to their struggles, their record at Anfield is even worse, with their most recent league victory at Liverpool coming back in April 1994. Since then, they’ve drawn five times and lost 23 in league encounters at this venue, which only adds to the difficult task ahead.
For Newcastle to have any hope of breaking this long-standing run at Anfield, they will need standout performances, particularly from their top scorer, Alexander Isak. Isak, who has been in fine form recently, played a pivotal role in Newcastle’s win over Forest, scoring a brace to make history as the highest-scoring Swedish player in Premier League history with 50 goals. He also found the net in the reverse fixture earlier this season against Liverpool, so he’ll be hoping to repeat that success in this crucial match.
On the other side, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah will be looking to continue his own remarkable form. Salah was involved in both goals against Manchester City, scoring and assisting in the 2-0 win. This was the 49th time in his career in Europe’s top five leagues that he has both scored and assisted in a league match. One of those 49 games came in this season’s reverse fixture against Newcastle, where Salah’s contributions helped Liverpool secure a vital 2-0 win. He will be key to unlocking Newcastle’s defense once again.
Both Salah and Isak will be key to their teams’ hopes, and the battle between these two attackers promises to be one of the most exciting aspects of this fixture. Salah, with his experience and deadly finishing ability, will look to continue his consistent performances. Meanwhile, Isak will seek to make his mark on the game once more, proving that he can take on the Premier League’s top sides and score in the big moments.
As for Liverpool, their recent home form makes them the clear favorites for this match. They have won eight of their last 12 home games by a margin of two or more goals, further underlining their dominance at Anfield. However, Newcastle will be determined to fight for every point, knowing that this match could be pivotal in their quest for a top-four finish. With the stage set for a thrilling encounter, both teams will be hungry for the three points, but Liverpool’s formidable home advantage and attacking prowess make them the team to beat.
