Newcastle and Liverpool have served up some classic Premier League encounters down the years but it may be asking too much for that to happen this Sunday. Both teams were below par last season, have since lost key players and must look to bounce back with new managers at the helm.
In the circumstances, a draw would not be a bad result for either side at St James’ Park , so 11/4 for a stalemate is our first Newcastle vs Liverpool prediction.

Form Guides

The Magpies made great progress for a few years under Eddie Howe until everything went awry for them last term. Newcastle never seemed to recover from the Alexander Isak transfer saga and losing 10 of their final 16 Premier League fixtures left them 12 th in the table. Things then went from bad to worse, with Howe stepping down as manager and Matthias Jaissle brought in to try and settle a squad stripped by departures of Anthony Gordon , Sandro Tonali and captain Bruno Guimaraes.
This is a tough test for 38-year-old Jaissle , but he did impress at Red Bull Salzburg and Saudi club Al-Ahli , while money has been spent on several new recruits, including highly-rated Hoffenheim youngster Bazoumana Toure and Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Amar Dedic.
Yoane Wissa also rediscovered his Brentford sparkle when starring for DR Congo at the World Cup and is a tempting 6/1 to open the scoring in the Newcastle vs Liverpool odds.
Liverpool form guide
Isak’s £125million move to Anfield didn’t exactly work out well for Liverpool either, with injury issues restricting him to just 22 starts and four goals in all competitions. Finishing off the campaign with four winless games saw the Reds end up fifth in the table and Arne Slot paid the price for that fall from being champions the season before.
Liverpool are looking to regroup under former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola , who worked wonders with the Cherries but now faces a much different test. The Spaniard will be expected to hit the ground running, with his every decision likely to come under the microscope. He has inherited a strong squad, especially after Florian Wirtz made good progress late on last term, but losing talismanic front man Mohamed Salah and defender Ibrahima Konate will hurt.
Getting the players to gel into an effective unit again will be the acid test, particularly at the back, where Virgil van Dijk has admitted it will take time to build a connection with new signings Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo. In a match-up long associated with high-scoring affairs, let’s add a BOYLE Sports price boost of 5/2 for both teams to strike in the first half to our Newcastle vs Liverpool betting tips.
