Liverpool will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 15 games when they face Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Saturday.
With five games left this season, Jurgen Klopp’s side find themselves a solitary point behind Manchester City. Crucially, they boast a superior goal difference to their title rivals.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are up to ninth place in the Premier League table. Thanks to a remarkable hot streak, they sit 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
Newcastle head into Saturday’s clash on a four-game winning streak, having already seen off Wolves, Leicester, Crystal Palace and Norwich this month.
It is also worth noting that Howe’s side kept a clean sheet against Wolves, Palace, and Norwich – highlighting their defensive improvements.
Not only have the Magpies won each of their last four Premier League games, but they have also won seven of their previous ten.
When you look at the bigger picture, Newcastle have lost just three of their past 16 league matches – securing ten wins and three draws in the process.
Still, it will be extremely difficult for the Magpies to extend their hot streak when high-flying Liverpool come to town.
As for the Reds, they head to Tyneside on the back of a comfortable 2-0 victory over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Klopp’s boys are currently enjoying an 11-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, having picked up nine wins and two draws since their last loss.
It is also worth noting that Liverpool have suffered just two defeats in their previous 31 away games in all competitions, highlighting their strength on the road.
A win on Saturday will move the Reds one step closer to securing an unprecedent quadruple. They have already won the EFL Cup, and they remain in contention for three other trophies.
Head-to-head: Liverpool won the reverse fixture 3-1, meaning they have won six of their previous eight Premier League matches against Newcastle.
The Magpies last victory against the Reds came back in 2015. Since then, Liverpool have chalked up a ten-game unbeaten run in this fixture.
Team news: Ryan Fraser, Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson, Isaac Hayden and Jamal Lewis are all currently unavailable for Newcastle.
Liverpool have no fresh injury worries, although there are doubts over the fitness of Roberto Firmino, Curits Jones and Kostas Tsimikas.
Regardless of Newcastle extraordinary revival under Howe, high-flying Liverpool should be too strong for the Magpies.
Forebet predicts that both teams will score on Saturday. However, Liverpool are expected to come out on top.
