Newcastle United
The team got its current coach, Eddy Howe, shortly after the Saudi investors arrived. They have already achieved a lot with him, from being saved from relegation to the Championship to participating, for the first time in two decades, in the Champions League. Now the magpies, even though they did not receive a serious boost in the summer, remain a formidable force, ready to fight for a place in the European Cup. In the League Cup, it was possible to knock out Chelsea, in the Premier League in November, the club beat Arsenal before the break for the team games and with Nottingham Forest afterwards. But the last fights clearly did not go well. First, the team lost 0:2 to West Ham at home. And then it was limited to a 1:1 draw with Crystal Palace, which this season slipped into a fight for survival.

Liverpool
The club was one of the main intrigues of this season in English football: everyone was waiting to see how the Reds would handle the change of coach. But, as paradoxical as it may seem, in the autumn there was an impression that without Klopp it didn’t just get worse – Arne Slott started almost perfectly in England. Yes, yes and no – Salah and company lost to Nottingham Forest at home. But, apart from that, they did not win only against Arsenal on the road – this is in all tournaments. Last week was an incredible test – as it initially seemed. First, Real Madrid awaited in the Champions League. And they beat him quite confidently and comfortably 2:0. And on the weekend, the Merseysiders hosted Manchester City at the same Anfield and were able to repeat the grandmaster score. But it’s worth remembering that with the Spaniards, Kelleher drew penalties from Mbappe, and on Sunday he corrected van Dijk’s blunder, not allowing himself to be beaten 1 on 1 by De Bruyne.
Statistics of personal meetings
The Magpies last won in 2015. And all 6 extreme matches ended only with Merseyside victories.
Forecast
Bookmakers, of course, believe in guests. It is important for them not to relax now, but it seems that Slot understands what needs to be done. We bet on the victory of the guests (coefficient – 1.79).
