After the shocking loss to Plymouth in the fourth round of the FA Cup 0:1 and exit from the tournament, the team, led by Arne Slot, played four times in the English Championship. They had two draws in rescheduled away matches.
First, they came close to winning the Merseyside derby with Everton, but conceded a goal at the end of the game. Then, they couldn't beat Birmingham at Aston Villa. Both games ended in a 2:2 tie. Even so, Liverpool still won two more games. First, they beat Wolverhampton 2:1 at home and scored two unanswered goals against Manchester City, showing some very high-quality soccer. After the 26th round, Liverpool is still in the lead in the Premier League table. They're 11 points ahead of second-place Arsenal.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United did better than Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but it wasn't easy. In this round, the team led by Eddie Howe beat Birmingham City 3:2.
After that, the Magpies played two English Championship games, and they did pretty well. In the 25th round, Newcastle United had a tough time defending against Manchester City and suffered a big loss away with a score of 0:4. Next, Howe's team fought hard to hold the advantage over Nottingham Forest at home, and the game ended with a score of 4:3. Before the midweek break, the team had 44 points, and they were in fifth place in the Premier League standings.
H2H Meetings
The first round of the English championship was a very exciting game. In the first half, Alexander Isak impressed the fans at St. James Park and put Newcastle ahead. But early in the second half, Jones tied it up. Then the Magpies took the lead with a goal by Gordon, but they missed a response from Salah right away. Then Liverpool took the lead again with a double from Salah, but Newcastle equalized in extra time, ending the game in a 3:3 draw after Schar scored.

Expert Betting Tips
Liverpool responded to criticism with a very convincing performance at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City. We think Newcastle United's weak defense will make it hard for them to keep up at Anfield. The match at Anfield is going to be a blast, with at least three goals, and the home team is going to get another step closer to winning the Premier League title.
