Liverpool are unbeaten in seven outings at St James' Park, winning five of the last six, thereby seeking a fourth successive victory on Tyneside for the first time ever, having first visited in 1893.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool Preview
Will the Liverpool Slot machine produce yet another jackpot? On Sunday, the Reds pulled nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table by swatting aside Manchester City 2-0 at Anfield, their dominance not at all done justice by that scoreline. Mohamed Salah was the star of the show, putting it on a plate for Cody Gakpo's opener, before converting a spot-kick in front of the Anfield Road stand to rubber stamp the points later on. This means, since Arne Slot's arrival, Liverpool have now won 18 of 20 matches across all competitions, collecting 34 points from a possible 39 in the Premier League, including winning four league fixtures on the spin. If the Reds are able to continue that winning streak, both here and then in Saturday's Merseyside derby at Goodison, belief will only continue to increase that this is indeed their year.
Well, Newcastle United have already beaten Tottenham, Chelsea in the EFL Cup and Arsenal on Tyneside this season, as well as holding Manchester City to a draw, with a trip to the North East, traditionally, one of the tougher fixtures a title contender will face. However, Eddie Howe's team are not in great form just now, suffering a shock 2-0 home defeat at the hands of struggling West Ham nine nights ago, before being denied victory at Crystal Palace on Saturday, shipping an equaliser deep into stoppage time at Selhurst. Overall, the Magpies have won only two of their last nine, thereby sliding into the bottom half, so can they claim a statement victory over the league-leaders, roared on by the ever-raucous Toon Army?

Newcastle United Team News
Star striker Alexander Isak hobbled off after just 20 minutes on Saturday wtih a suspencted hip injury. He was replaced by Harvey Barnes but, assuming Isak is not available, fit-again Callum Wilson will surely lead the line, thereby starting for the first time since early-May following a back injury. Elsewhere, Joelinton is likely to be deployed as part of the front three for a fifth consecutive match, while Sean Longstaff could return in place of Sando Tonali in midfield. The aforementioned Joelinton as well as Fabian Schär would miss Saturday's trip to Brentford if booked.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimarães, Willock; Joelinton, Gordon, Wilson.
Newcastle United Player to Watch vs Liverpool
Anthony Gordon, who was released by Liverpool as an 11 year old, scored when the Reds visited St James' last season, but did so in a 2-1 defeat, so can he repeat the feat but in a victory for his side?
Liverpool Team News
Ibrahima Konaté will not be seen again in 2024 due to a knee injury sustained against Real Madrid, so Joe Gomez will deputise, as he did against Manchester City, while Jarell Quansah is the alternative, having come off the bench in that game for his first Premier League appearance since the opening day. Elsewhere, there's still no Alisson, Diogo Jota or Federico Chiesa, but Trent Alexander-Arnold's return is timely, considering Conor Bradley will now be out for a few weeks. Curtis Jones is likely to come in for Dominik Szoboszlai, with Arne Slot choosing to rotate. Luis Díaz led the line at the weekend, with in-form Cody Gakpo on the left, but Darwin Núñez could also be back in; he was the scorer of a late double as ten-man Liverpool won at St James' Park during their most-recent venture north. Lastly, Alexis Mac Allister will be suspended for Saturday's Merseyside derby if booked.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Darwin Núñez.
Liverpool Player to Watch vs Newcastle United
Mohamed Salah may never have been better than he is right now, bagging his 13th goal of the season already from the penalty spot on Sunday, while the Egyptian has eight goals in his last 13 clashes with Newcastle, including a brace when the pair most-recently met on New Years' Day.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool Prediction
We cannot see beyond a Liverpool victory from this mid-week encounter. The Reds are simply irresistible right now, while Newcastle's form is mixed, so we can't forecast a reality in which the Magpies are able to derail the run-away league-leaders: Newcastle United 1-3 Liverpool.
