Newcastle United return to Premier League action on Wednesday night as they travel to face league leaders Liverpool at Anfield. The two sides go head to head in a what is a curtain-raiser for the Carabao Cup final next month.
Eddie Howe’s team are hoping to make it back-to-back wins in their hunt for a top-four finish. Newcastle claimed a dramatic 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday as they bounced back to winning ways in the league after a disappointing defeat at Man City.
The Magpies are currently in fifth place in the league standings. That could be enough to secure Champions League football next season but Newcastle want to be certain by getting into the top four. However, they face the toughest test of their credentials against a Liverpool side seemingly cruising towards the Premier League title. Arne Slot’s men are 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United prediction
BBC Sport’s Chris Sutton has had his say on the fixture. Sutton has predicted that Liverpool will win 2-1. He said: “This fixture has plenty of history behind it – Liverpool’s 4-3 win at Anfield in 1996 will always be remembered as a Premier League classic.
“Newcastle come into it in good shape after a good win over Nottingham Forest, but the way Liverpool beat Manchester City was extremely impressive. It was such a mature performance by Arne Slot’s side to soak up City’s possession and be so clinical in front of goal.
“We know by now that Slot’s side will be hard to beat, while Newcastle are still quite up and down – they were very poor when they went to Etihad Stadium last week. They are capable of giving Liverpool a good game but I am going to say that the leaders will take the points and carry on their title charge.”
