Premier League: Liverpool vs Newcastle 01/02/2026

Betting on Goals

The derby match of Premier League round 24 will be played at the iconic Anfield, where Liverpool will host Newcastle.

Arne Slot’s second season in charge of Liverpool has proven to be extremely turbulent. The Reds currently sit only sixth in the table with 36 points and are without a win in their last five league matches. However, they have partially redeemed themselves with two convincing victories in the Champions League. Against Qarabag, they showcased their attacking power in a 6–0 win, and for the rest of the season it will be crucial for some key players to rediscover their form, most notably Mohamed Salah.

On the other hand, Newcastle come into this match after an extremely demanding clash in Paris, where they managed to hold the reigning European champions PSG to a draw and earn a valuable point. That result saw them finish the Champions League group stage level in 11th place, alongside the Parisian side. The Magpies are still dealing with serious issues due to a shortened rotation caused by injuries to several regular starters, but Eddie Howe continues to get the maximum out of the squad at his disposal.

Liverpool are in desperate need of a new league victory, and I believe the emphatic win on Tuesday has provided the confidence boost they can carry into this fixture. Newcastle have struggled on the road in the Premier League this season and also have a poor recent record at Anfield in league matches. Liverpool have won the last four head-to-head league meetings at this ground, scoring 11 goals in the process, and I expect that scoring trend to continue.
