Football Results

The last Saturday’s match of the 29th round of English Premier League is clash between 3rd-placed Liverpool and 15th-positioned Newcastle, which currently has palpable 28 points more. However, the Magpies can boast with fact that are unbeaten in last four rounds and the Reds will have to do their best in order to win the fourth match in a row, especially as their two previous head-to-head had ended as draws.

Liverpool

At the moment Liverpool seems unstoppable and no one in their ranks have doubts about winning Newcastle at home. Team led by manager Klopp won two last league matches, away one with Southampton 2-0 and one played at home with West Ham 4-1, while at the beginning of previous month they outclassed Porto away by even 5-0 in the 1st leg of the Champions League round of 16.

The result allowed the Reds to put foot in the door of quarter-finals, which is why they can fully focus on the Premier League in the coming period and the race for new season in the Champions League. At the moment the Reds are third in the table and have just two points fewer than 2nd-placed Manchester United, while on the other hand 4th-placed Tottenham and fifth Chelsea have two and four points fewer than they, respectively. Let’s add that defender Clyne, midfielders Henderson and Wijnaldum, and forward Ings are not fully ready for the Saturday’s match.

Probable lineups Liverpool: Karius – Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson – Oxlade-Chamberlain, Emre Can, Milner – Salah, Firmino, Mane

Newcastle

We have said in the introduction that the guests from Newcastle had four-game unbeaten streak before facing very strong Liverpool, although they drew even three out of those four matches. The Magpies won only once, two rounds ago when they faced another strong opponent, Manchester United. Still, it is very important for them that they won by one point from away matches with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, and at the moment they have two points more than teams in the drop zone.

Everyone in the club is fully aware that ahead of this returnee to the Premier League is a bitter survival struggle. It means that now at the Anfield we can expect maximally motivated and brave approach of team led by manager Benitez, who played for Liverpool during heyday of his footballer career in England. Let’s add that match with the Reds should skip injured goalkeeper Elliot, defender Gamez, midfielder Shelvey and forward Slimani.

Probable lineups Newcastle: Dubravka – Yedlin, Lascelles, Lejeune, Dummett – Ritchie, Hayden, Diame, Kenedy – Perez – Gayle

Verdict:

Of course, 3rd-placed Liverpool is a great favourite to win the match but the guests from Newcastle will surely not surrender without putting up a good fight, especially as they have just two points more than teams in the drop zone.
