• Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
• Venue: Anfield (Liverpool)

Liverpool aim to take another step closer to the title as they host the inconsistent Newcastle United at Anfield in Wednesday’s Premier League clash.

Dutch tactician Arne Slot has turned Liverpool into an unstoppable force that is sweeping aside opponents across all competitions this season, with their dominance particularly evident in the Premier League, where they took a massive step toward reclaiming the domestic crown after a five-year drought. With a helping hand from West Ham, who took down their closest title challengers Arsenal 1-0 with a man advantage the day before, Liverpool capitalized on a weakened Manchester City side to cruise to a commanding 2-0 victory at the Etihad, stretching their lead at the top to an imposing 11 points with 11 rounds still left to play.

While Liverpool marches forward with unstoppable momentum in their title pursuit, Newcastle still has plenty of work ahead to clinch a Champions League berth, but they took a vital step in the right direction by bouncing back from back-to-back league setbacks with a free-flowing attacking display on Sunday. After going a goal down in the sixth minute, the Magpies, led by Alexander Isak, unleashed a devastating attacking display, scoring four goals in less than 30 minutes to win 4-3 in a tense affair against this season's surprise package Nottingham, moving level on points with Manchester City but staying outside the top four on goal difference.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United Betting Tips : LIVERPOOL TO WIN

The latest two encounters between these rivals have produced an astonishing 12 goals, including a thrilling six-goal draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season, and we have no doubt that the crowd at Anfield will be treated to another exciting goal-fest come midweek. Newcastle's offense, with Alexander Isak spearheading it, certainly packs a punch, but their vulnerable and porous defense, which has capitulated nine times in their last three outings, leaves little room for optimism against the top team in the league. Furthermore, it’s been a rare sight for teams to leave Anfield with points this season, as Liverpool’s remarkable tally of 15 wins from their last 17 home matches speaks volumes, clearly establishing themselves as a dominant force to be reckoned with when playing on their own turf. To make matters worse for the visitors, Newcastle's away record against Liverpool is a nightmare, as they have failed to beat the Reds once in the 21st century, suffering 19 losses out of 24 encounters during that time, and with Salah and co. firing on all cylinders and looking unstoppable, it’s hard to imagine anything other than a Merseyside victory.
