Premier League 2025/26: Liverpool vs Newcastle Preview, Prediction, TV channels & Predicted Lineup

Liverpool (6th) hosts Newcastle (9th) at Anfield, both desperate for a win. The "Reds" haven't won a league game in 2026, while Newcastle looks to break a 29-game winless Anfield streak.

Match Facts

Liverpool sits 6th with 36 points, currently trailing the top four. Newcastle is 9th with 33 points, meaning a win for the Magpies would see them leapfrog Liverpool on goal difference.

Newcastle has not won an away league game at Liverpool in 29 matches (24 losses, 5 draws), a streak dating back to 1994.

Liverpool is winless in their last five Premier League matches. Newcastle recently lost 2-0 to Aston Villa but had won three of their previous four.

Arne Slot is missing Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, and Conor Bradley, leaving a massive void at right-back. Newcastle will likely welcome back Bruno Guimarães to the starting XI.

Predicted Lineup

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Tonali, Hall; Barnes, Wissa, Gordon.

Prediction of AI

Despite Liverpool's defensive injury crisis, their historic dominance over Newcastle at home is hard to ignore. Newcastle's struggles on the road (only 3 wins in 15 away games) suggest they may struggle to capitalize on Liverpool's slump. Expect a high-energy game where home advantage barely edges it for the Reds. Score Prediction: Liverpool 2 - 1 Newcastle United.
