Our Prediction for Newcastle vs Liverpool
With Newcastle losing some key players in the summer like Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, they will have their work cut out against Liverpool. The Magpies will also be without the manager who led them to their first trophy in 56 years, when they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final in 2025. On the other hand, Liverpool will have a new manager in charge, Andoni Iraola, and will be without Mo Salah.
Our prediction is a draw at odds of 11/4.
