Liverpool hosts Newcastle United in round 17 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 16th at Anfield (Liverpool)
In the last round, Liverpool had some problems but still beat Aston Villa at home (1-0). That victory became the 5th in a row for the team (four out of five matches ended with clean sheets). Jurgen Klopp's charges continue to be on the 2nd line in the standings. They have 37 points and lag behind the leading Manchester City by four points. The third-ranked Chelsea is one point behind. Liverpool is the most productive team in the Premier League. The Reds have already scored 45 goals. It is noteworthy that they also have the third most reliable defense (12 goals conceded). I would like to note that Klopp can count on the best scorer of the championship, Mohamed Salah (14 goals in 16 games). Liverpool remains the only team in England that has not lost at home (five victories and three draws).

Newcastle is in danger of being the first club in football history to find itself in the second division (Championship) with a fabulous budget. After 16 rounds, the Magpies are on the 19th line in the standings with only ten points scored. The lag behind the saving 17th position is three points. But the 16th line is already six points ahead. The Black-and-Whites have gained only one victory in the current championship (seven draws and eight losses). Newcastle has huge problems in defense (34 goals conceded). The club managed to keep a clean sheet only once. By the way, their attack is also far from perfect — only 17 goals scored (only six Premier League teams scored less) Newcastle gained three draws and suffered five defeats on foreign pitches.
In the last Premier League draw, Liverpool sensationally failed to beat Newcastle at home. The final score was 1-1. In 19 of the 20 previous head-to-head confrontations at Anfield, the Reds could not score more than two goals. But now Liverpool and Newcastle are opponents of completely different levels. The hosts are one of the strongest clubs in Europe. On the other hand, Newcastle is one of the most problematic teams in the Premier League. The Magpies score a little and concede a lot. In addition, they still have no away victories in the championship. Given that Liverpool has an incredibly powerful attack, I have little doubt that it will score a couple of goals or even more.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to score over 2.5 goals
