There is never a boring moment in which Liverpool and Newcastle United Lock Horns.
The history books are littered with amazing competitions between these two giants, and the excitement is inevitable. The last three meetings between the teams scored 15 goals, with St. James’ Park achieving a 3: 3 draw with 3: 3 draws in early December.
The meeting between the pages in Anfield on Wednesday drives masses. Liverpool chases her second Premier League title, while Newcastle is scrapped for the Champions League qualification. An opportunity to land a psychological blow in front of the Carabao Cup final next month will also motivate both sides.
Newcastle has not won in Anfield since 1995, but they increase their chances every season because they become strength under Eddie Howe. Your squad offers some electrifying stars more than able to exchange strokes with Liverpool’s World Cup.
The war on Wednesday is decided by fine margins. Here are four important battles that could affect the result.
Alexander Isak’s numbers become more terrifying every year. The lanky Swede has astonishing goalkeeper in the goalkeeper throughout the entire campaign for Newcastle and, after a slow start to the campaign, has proven significantly to increase the ranking.
Liverpool knows that better than anyone else. Isak used excellent long -term efforts between the team before Christmas before Christmas and met on his only previous visits to Angeld. The electrical speed and the striking sportiness of the 25-year-old enabled him to benefit from the space of the generally high line of the red.
Virgil van Dijk did not particularly enjoy fights with the former real sociedad star, but Newcastles center forward will undoubtedly aim to isolate ibrahima konate on Wednesday evening. It is known that the French defender brings the strange questionable performance to the mix, although the French defender, despite often at an extremely high level, acts into the mix.
If Isak can pull up on the field by dropping deeply to collect the possession before turning behind him, he can take advantage of the occasional rashes of the Liverpool defender. Since Newcastle probably has a lot of counterattacks to take advantage of it, this could show a fertile street for Howe’s men.
Although Liverpool celebrated a emphatic 2-0 victory against Manchester City last Sunday -one who moved 11 points in front of the title rival Arsenal -Trent Alexander -Arnold still left the field with his cock between his legs.
Liverpools No. 66 was repeated by the dynamic but unpolished Jeremy Doku from City, whose speed and mobility proved too much for Alexander-Arnold. The right-back lost in the Etihad Stadium 12 duels, since its impressive distribution was overshadowed by some blatant defensive defects.
Colleagues Liverpudlian Anthony Gordon, who was a serious transfer goal for the Red in the summer, will offer his English team -mate a similarly chaste experience on Wednesday evening. It is known that the ex-Everton winger makes you look foolish with his direct approach, and has often taken the chance to punish the club that has released him from her academy at a young age.
In his last three meetings with Liverpool, he has made two goals and a template in his last three meetings, which were skillfully completed at the beginning of this season in moving out in St. James Park. He will not need invitations to silence the audience of Angeld on Wednesday evening and to modest Alexander-Arnold.
Arne Slot has confirmed that Alexis Mac Allister is fit and clear, although the City is ended with a blue eye. The presence of the Argentine will be a big boost because Liverpool is preparing to fight with one of the best midfield units of the Premier League.
Sandro Tonali, Joelinton and the extremely talented Bruno Guimaraes have moved to pieces throughout the country this season. You have not humiliated Manchester United for so long, and while Liverpool worked on a much higher standard than the Red Devils this season, you will know that this is a struggle that you cannot afford to underestimate.
Mac Allister and Guimaraes take over both mobile, ball game rolls in the middle of the field, which have the task of getting things going in one end and at the same time stopping all attacks from their opponents.
Ryan Gravenberch will be there alongside Mac Allister to help, but the couple may need support from everyone who plays in the attacking midfield role, only to ensure that they are not overwhelmed by the mere numbers.
If you can stop the best player in the world this season, you have a good chance to achieve a positive result.
Many tried to take Mohamed Salah breaks, but a look at his record -breaking return this season – 25 goals and 16 templates in just 27 games – shows how difficult a task is.
Responsibility here will fall on Lewis Hall. The 20-year-old has been electrical in the past few weeks, but it has to be remembered that his football training came in central midfield, not in the left. All defensive uncertainties could be easily exploited by a player in Salah’s form.
Apart from that, this fight is not only one -sided. Hall has four templates in his last 11 Premier League trips and will fly Liverpool’s right side happily down to try to expand this balance, since Salah is not always the best defensive cover for Alexander-Arnold.
