Liverpool – Newcastle United

Liverpool should get ready for a fierce resistance. We anticipate goals from both teams in this match

A real battle of ambition is to be expected from the upcoming match at the legendary Anfield. Prior to the start of the season, bookmakers had the local club in second place on their list of favourites, traditionally in recent years choosing Manchester City as the main title contender. However, even for vice-champion status, the Merseysiders have only once in four rounds shown the right level. The visitors to the upcoming match, who made it to the midfield of the Premier League last season from the relegation zone, are showing a level of play above what they are used to. The bookmakers have expectedly chosen Liverpool as the favourites, offering to bet on the visitors with odds of around 9.5. Jurgen Klopp's side, who swapped Mane for Núñez in the attack during the off-season, have blatantly failed in their first league games. Having drawn their opening fixtures against Crystal Palace and Fulham, the Merseyside side contrived to lose to a limping Manchester United in their third meeting. The Reds took their anger out on poor Bournemouth, who came crashing down from the opening minutes of the game. In a 9-0 victory, Klopp even fielded 17-year-olds Bajcetic and Clarke, giving the youngsters a taste of the game in the face of a large number of injuries. Newcastle, notorious for their change of management last season, skimped on 136 million in the off-season. The club strengthened their defensive line and spent most of that amount on Real Sociedad forward Isak, who joined the forty a few days ago. Howe's side have had a decent start to the season. Now, Newcastle are one of five teams who have not yet lost. Although the Magpies have already met with Manchester City (3-3) and Brighton (0-0), one of the best clubs from the beginning of the season. Of course, at Anfield, guests of all statuses and ranks are never sweet. However, Newcastle are now confident in their strengths and quite defiant in games against favourites. "The Magpies will certainly not focus solely on defence, understanding the futility of playing 0-0 against Liverpool. Since the start of 2021, the rivals have exchanged goals on two occasions out of three. The current pre-match prospects also allow us to expect goals from both teams.
