-------------------------------------
Alexander Isak’s absence was felt by Newcastle United during their goalless draw with Aston Villa, while Liverpool benefited from a fresh attacking star in their 4-2 win over Bournemouth. The upcoming Premier League clash between Newcastle and Liverpool at St James’ Park promises to be an exciting match without needing much hype.
Team Analysis:
Newcastle’s ongoing transfer dispute with Alexander Isak has cast a shadow over their upcoming match against Liverpool. Isak is pushing to leave the club amid conflicting claims about his exit, while Newcastle has struggled to find effective attacking alternatives in his absence, failing to score in their last three league games. Despite this, Newcastle aims to continue their strong home record under Eddie Howe.
Liverpool started their season strongly, overcoming defensive lapses to beat Bournemouth 4-2. Key goals helped them break a winless streak and bounce back from a recent Community Shield defeat. However, defensive issues persist, with just one clean sheet in their last ten matches. If Liverpool scores against Newcastle, they will equal their longest top-flight scoring streak. Historically, Newcastle has struggled against Liverpool, having not won any of their last 17 Premier League meetings.
Player Situation:
Alexander Isak remains isolated at Newcastle as he pushes for a move to Liverpool, while Joe Willock is close to returning from injury. Jacob Ramsey might make his debut, but Eddie Howe could rely on Anthony Elanga, Anthony Gordon, and Harvey Barnes upfront. Barnes may have an advantage against Liverpool’s weakened left side due to injuries.
Liverpool might use Dominik Szoboszlai as right-back with Ryan Gravenberch back from suspension. Mohamed Salah looks to extend his impressive goal and assist record against Newcastle in the upcoming match.
Result Prediction:
Despite Liverpool’s defensive weaknesses, Newcastle’s attack without Isak struggles to take advantage. Newcastle may find some success on the counter, but Liverpool’s strong offense is likely to overpower them again and secure a second straight win.
Predicted Result: Newcastle United 1-2 Liverpool.
