Newcastle vs Liverpool

The only team to defeat Newcastle United this season visits St. James' Park as Liverpool looks to build upon its first Premier League win since December.

All of the focus will be on Arsenal and how they respond to that home defeat, their first of the season, to Manchester City. With the first real attack of the game Villa lead. What a first half at Villa Park. HALF TIME: Aston Villa 2-1 Arsenal. Arsenal cranking up the pressure now. So close to a stunning goal for Villa as Bailey did so well to control, run and spank an effort at goal. In the first half we did the simple things wrong and in the second half we raised our individual level and did the simple things right. 3 of Casemiro’s three-game suspension for the red card he received in the Man United victory over Crystal Palace two weeks ago, with the Red Devils just a win away from taking 7 of 9 points during the Brazilian’s ban — not small feat given his considerable impact since arriving from Real Madrid in the summer. Manchester United have lost just once (to Arsenal) in their last 10 Premier League games (7W-2D-1L), and they have Marcus Rashford’s red-hot form to thank for that. The Hammers have a bit of momentum amid a three-game unbeaten run (victory over Everton, followed by back-to-back draws with Newcastle and Chelsea), though they are winless in their last four trips to north London (0W-1D-3L). West Ham (20 points – 18th place), meanwhile, find themselves in the relegation zone after winning just one of their last 10 PL games (1W-3D-6L). Newcastle will be looking at its injury report as Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Miguel Almiron are all in question with Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock both out, too.

But the quality of the pass from Salah made it a lot easier for the Dutchman to grab his second Liverpool goal in as many games. Continue their mini-revival, and there is a chance of repeating their exploits of 2020-21, when they took 26 points from their last 30 to finish third in the league, despite being mired in mid-table in February. Firmino meets it at the far post but is not able to turn it home. We could have done better, but there is a reason why we are the only team to win here. It was a great run from Darwin and a great finish. Eddie Howe spoke to the BBC after the loss: "I thought it was actually a good performance in the main. The pass from Trent (Alexander-Arnold) for Darwin (Nunez) and from Mo (Salah) to Cody (Gakpo) top class. With the ball too low for a header, the Newcastle keeper instinctively tried to grab it, 10 yards outside the penalty area. It's harsh for Nick because he's been magnificent for us and to miss the next game is a huge blow for him. He did well to ensure his arm didn’t touch the ball and then waited for the ball to bounce before smashing it with his right boot into the left corner. We didn't so we had to fight until the end. [Cody Gakpo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/cody-gakpo-djGTTuUUTuWr6O2m/) doubled the visitors' advantage just seven minutes later, receiving a brilliant assist from [Mohamed Salah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/mohamed-salah-NuvaNMBabDgYuJtn/) and slotting the ball home.

Liverpool will be out to prove they've truly turned a corner when they travel to face Newcastle in the Premier League this weekend.The Reds finally se.

No side has done so more often against a single opponent in Premier League history (Man Utd also 10 vs both Newcastle and Southampton). They’ve also not conceded more than once in any of these 17 games – only once have they had a longer run without conceding at least twice in their league history (18 between November-March in 2003-04). - Liverpool have lost their last three Premier League away games. The Reds’ haven’t conceded 3+ goals in four consecutive away league games since September 1954. - Alexander Isak scored on his Newcastle debut in the reverse fixture against Liverpool. However, he’s not scored in any of his last four home league games, since netting against Aston Villa in October.

Newcastle should be on the scoresheet! They’re now six points behind fourth placed Newcastle and have a game in hand on Eddie Howe’s men. The ball is nodded back towards Roberto Firmino who can’t quite reach it. That means Loris Karius, who hasn’t played a first-team game of football for two years, is set to make his Newcastle debut. On to the next one.” We want to find consistency with what we have been doing the last five years. “It feels very good [to be back from injury.] Being healthy is the most important thing in the world. “The red card changed the game a little bit. We’ve had results in the season where we have felt like this is the time to kick on. A side who had lost their last three away league games in hapless fashion instead backed up a Merseyside derby victory by ending the longest unbeaten run in any of the top five European divisions. A week that could have finished off their challenge for a top-four finish three months early instead sees their hopes resurrected and them rejuvenated.

We can be very proud of that, because I know many teams in that situation wouldn't create the chances we created. I thought the reaction to that sending off was brilliant from the team. I think we need to be focused for the cup game, but I'm very disappointed about this game. I feel sad for Nick Pope because he tried to help the team. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe told Sky Sports: "A lot happened in the game, a good start from us and we had the first chance in the game. "I thought it was on the angle with defenders retreating to our goal but that was given. Newcastle also had a chance to pull one back late on through substitute Callum Wilson on the break but he was denied by Liverpool's top performer Alisson. I wish we'd have done that better, but in the end I'm really happy we got it over the line. "Against these sorts of teams that's the last thing you want to see especially with the scoreline. But it was the Reds that took the lead when Trent Alexander-Arnold picked out a wide-open Nunez in behind the Magpies' defence before he emphatically converted after 10 minutes to silence a raucous St James' Park. Newcastle refused to give up as Saint-Maximin ran Liverpool's defenders ragged before seeing a left-footed effort tipped onto the bar by Alisson after half an hour. The Magpies, meanwhile, are now on a four-game winless run in the league ahead of a huge game at Wembley against Man Utd.
