Liverpool could move 12 points clear at the Premier League summit on Wednesday if they are able to claim maximum points at St. James’ Park against Newcastle.
Confidence at the club will be sky high after a stunning start to life under Arne Slot. The Reds maintained a nine-point advantage at the summit with a faultless 2-0 win at home against Man City on Sunday.
Newcastle will be aiming to get their European bid back on track after dropping points in their last two matches. A win on Wednesday could see them move to within a point of the Champions League spots.
Odds
It is no surprise that Liverpool are a -127 chance on the moneyline to claim maximum points following their excellent start to the season. Newcastle will be the outside selection.
