At 04:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 2, the Red Army Liverpool team will host the new Premier League giants Newcastle United. After 19 rounds ahead, Liverpool lead the Premier League table by just a narrow margin. Considering that Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Arsenal are all pressing behind step by step, Liverpool naturally hopes to win all three points in the first game of the 2024 New Year in order to consolidate their title status.
The historical head-to-head record shows that Liverpool has won 5 consecutive games against Newcastle United in the last 5 times, and has won 10 of the last 15 meetings, so as long as Liverpool plays normally, winning the game should be a high probability thing.
In the previous round, Liverpool beat Burnley 2-0 to take the lead in the title race against Gunners Arsenal. Halfway through the Premier League schedule, Liverpool will have more and more hope of winning the Premier League if they can continue to press Arsenal.
Facing Newcastle United in this game, in addition to Salah, Liverpool's forward players such as Gakpo, Nunez, and Luis Dias are all key figures in the victory, especially Uruguayan star Nunez, who needs to play a battle for his name. In the first 19 games, the Liverpool team scored 39 goals, with an average of more than 2 goals per game.
Although Newcastle United is the new local tycoon of the Premier League, its form has dropped significantly compared to last season. After the first 19 rounds, they have won only 9 games, and they are currently in 9th place in the Premier League standings, basically out of the Premier League title race. Although he has scored 37 goals this season, he has conceded more than 1 goal per game, reaching 25 goals, and there are very big shortcomings in defense. It is worth mentioning that Newcastle United have won only one of their last seven games, and their form has continued to be sluggish. Liverpool have a chance of winning against them at this time.
Judging from the historical head-to-head record, Newcastle United can be described as the scumbag Klopp's point boy. Even in the heyday of Newcastle United last season, against the backdrop of Liverpool's overall downturn, the Reds Liverpool still "doubled" Newcastle United home and away. Therefore, in this game, the outside world is generally more optimistic about Liverpool's home win over Newcastle United. Finally, I hope that Uncle Scum can give Liverpool fans a special New Year's gift with a hearty victory.
