However Newcastle does well at home against Liverpool, their last win dates 10/02/2007, score 2:1. In the last 20 games the Magpies have a record of W6 D4 L6 so things look pretty equal.
Newcastle now has new manager after Chris Hughton was released, with the following message “the board now feels an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward.” Alan Pardew was appointed for the new manager, news received with a lot of skepticism by the fans. To be honest I have to agree here as well, as this is the man that took Newcastle out of Championship and deserve if nothing else a bit more respect from the club board.
Roy Hodgson says that he is aware of the “effect of the new manager” and hopes his Liverpool will be able to counter the Magpies. The home victory here is priced at 3.80 if you believe the manager rotation was beneficial.
A victory for Liverpool is priced at 2.00 due to the fact that the team has managed to win the last 2 games here scoring a total of 8 goals.
