Match Preview

Liverpool

Liverpool hasn’t been able to win the three points in two games already, recording two consecutive draws against Wigan (0:0) and against Blackburn (1:1) teams from the bottom half of the table, that should have been easy to overcome. Currently the team is on the 6th spot with 31 points in 18 games, recording the massive amount of six draw games at home, more than any other Premier League team. Luis Suarez will miss this game because of a one match ban. This is a potential threat as Liverpool has a lot of problems scoring this year, having scored just 21 goals, a few less than the bottom two teams Blackburn and Bolton (25 & 22). Which the creativity Suarez brings to the team this will be an even harder task. The good news for Liverpool is that their record is outstanding against Newcastle, winning the last 5 games without conceding a goal.

Newcastle

Newcastle started the season very well, being one of the two unbeaten Premier League teams, and was in Top 4 for a while, until they faced the team of Manchester City. After the loss with 1:3, Newcastle recorded in the next 6 games, 3 losses, two draws and a victory on their most recent match on Boxing day against Bolton (2:0). Striker Demba Ba should be available for this game, despite the hit he took on the knee in the most recent game. Newcastle is currently 7th in the league with 30 points in 18 games, one behind Liverpool. Newcastle’s defense performed very well before the game with City and the rest that followed. The team has currently scored 25 goals and conceded almost as many, 22. Anfield is one of the worst places for the Magpies to visit, as their last victory here reads April 1994.
