Newcastle take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 4th at St. James' Park (Newcastle).
A few years ago, Newcastle finally got new, significantly wealthier owners who wasted no time appointing Eddie Howe as manager. The team quickly transitioned from relegation battles to qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in decades. However, last year, the Magpies finished bottom of their UCL group in a challenging draw. In the Premier League, they dropped to 7th place—a position that, due to Manchester United winning the FA Cup, didn’t even grant them a spot in the Conference League. Modest activity in the summer transfer market underscored the fact that Newcastle isn’t set to become the next Manchester City or Chelsea anytime soon. Thus, it's no surprise that Newcastle is merely aiming to replicate last season’s results. Wins over Chelsea in the EFL Cup and Arsenal in the Premier League have been counterbalanced by a 0-2 loss to West Ham (who were flirting with the relegation zone at the time) and a disappointing 1-1 draw against a modest Crystal Palace side.

Liverpool faces its first real challenges. Liverpool’s performances in the first half of 2024 have been under scrutiny—particularly since Klopp announced his impending departure. However, by retaining key players and selecting a capable successor, the Reds have avoided a potential crisis. In fact, they've delivered an excellent start across all fronts, from the EFL Cup to the Champions League, and have finished the autumn as Premier League leaders. That said, last week pushed Liverpool to its limits. First, they hosted Real Madrid at Anfield, managing a 2-1 win after Madrid missed a penalty from Mbappé. Days later, a fiercely determined Manchester City arrived at Anfield, but Liverpool repeated their impressive 2-0 scoreline. With back-to-back high-intensity games, questions remain about how much energy Salah and the rest of the squad still have in the tank.
Newcastle has been a favorable opponent for Liverpool in recent years. The Reds have won all six of their last encounters under Klopp. It’s hard to make a strong case for Eddie Howe and his team in this match. Liverpool’s quality, coupled with their current form, suggests another victory for the Reds is likely.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
