Having secured their first Premier League win of the season in emphatic trend in opposition to Bournemouth, Liverpool will probably be aiming to proceed three Premier League highs in opposition to Newcastle this night.

The Reds have scored in 26 consecutive residence matches in opposition to them – a Premier League report run, whereas they’ve discovered the online in 39 of the final 40 top-flight conferences in opposition to them at Anfield.

Liverpool have additionally gained extra residence video games in opposition to Newcastle (21) than in opposition to every other group within the Premier League period, taking 68 factors from these obtainable 81.

In whole, they’ve scored 109 objectives in opposition to the Geordies – a report for the Reds because the Premier League was fashioned.

All bodes nicely for tonight, doesn’t it?

Assured objectives?

The stalemate on this fixture in December 2020 was the one goalless draw between these two groups within the final 72 league conferences.

The truth is, solely one of many final 59 league and cup matches between the golf equipment at Anfield has failed to provide a aim, and that got here in February 1970.

Liverpool have scored a couple of aim in 14 of their final 16 residence video games in opposition to Newcastle, and are 5 in need of recording 200 league objectives in opposition to them at Anfield.

Certainly there are objectives on this for the lads in purple?

Probably the most outstanding James Milner stat

This may simply be one of the best stat we’ve seen this season.

In Saturday’s win in opposition to Bournemouth, James Milner‘s introduction preceded the debut of 17-year-old Clark, whose presence created an unreal statistic.

Bobby is the son of Lee Clark, former Newcastle nice who performed alongside Milner throughout their time along with the Magpies in 2005/06.

Because it so occurs, the pair got here on as substitutes for Newcastle in August 2005, quick ahead 17 years and three days, and Milner was substituted onto the pitch alongside Clark as soon as extra – this time Bobby, not Lee.

Soccer is simply nice, isn’t it?

Is Mo saving his objectives for the Magpies?

By some means, Mohamed Salah didn’t rating or help any of the 9 objectives that had been thumped in in opposition to Bournemouth, and that could possibly be dangerous information for Newcastle.

The Egyptian is the one Liverpool participant in historical past to have scored in 5 successive residence league video games in opposition to the Magpies.

After lacking out on the possibility to take action in opposition to Bournemouth, a aim tonight would see him turn into Liverpool’s outright second-highest Premier League scorer.

He at the moment has 120 objectives, with Robbie Fowler main the way in which on 128. Can’t think about will probably be too lengthy till Salah is above him!

Newcastle stay unbeaten

Newcastle are unbeaten this season. It’s the first time since 2011-12 (throughout a sequence of 11) that they’ve remained undefeated of their opening 4 league fixtures.

They’ve drawn their final three league video games since they beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 on the opening weekend.

They at the moment have six factors from 4 video games. Final season they didn’t attain that tally till match 12 in late November.

Eddie Howe’s aspect have misplaced solely one in all their final 5 away league video games – 0-5 at Man Metropolis final Could.

Nevertheless, in Howe’s 12 league conferences with Liverpool his groups have conceded 31 objectives.

Right this moment’s referee

Andre Marriner will take cost of a conflict between these two golf equipment for the tenth time in his profession.

Of the earlier 9, Liverpool have gained 4, Newcastle two, with three attracts. He has not refereed both group since Liverpool’s 1-0 win at St. James’ Park final April.
