Liverpool v Newcastle Betting Tips [17 December 2021]

Liverpool host Newcastle United at the iconic Anfield on match day seventeen of the Premier League. The hosts are currently placed second in the league standings with thirty-seven points from the first sixteen games so far while Newcastle United are nineteenth in the league table with ten points from their first fifteen fixtures and are highly likely to get the drop by the end of the season if they do not start winning soon. Liverpool come into the game with a 1-0 win at home over Aston Villa. They are now on a seven-match winning run and have lost only once in their last twenty-four matches. Jurgen Klopp’s side also are on a five-match winning run in home matches. Liverpool are on inspirational form at the moment and are firm favourites in the game against Newcastle United by a country mile.

Newcastle United’s fortunes have not turned over even with the takeover by a Saudi Arabia-based conglomerate. The Magpies have won only once in their last seventeen matches and also have not won a single away fixture s far in the new season, meaning they are winless on the road in the eight games they have played so far. Newcastle United do come into the game with a 4-0 away defeat to Leicester City. They also do not have a very encouraging record against Liverpool, since they have not beaten them in each of the last nine meetings between the two sides.

Liverpool are on a fine run of form at the moment and look almost unbeatable by a side like Newcastle United, which is struggling to earn points. The Reds are firm favourites in this fixture. We are backing Liverpool to lead at both half time and full time.
