Newcastle vs Liverpool Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Joe Vaughan 03 Mar 2026

Newcastle were held to a 0-0 draw at Villa Park on the opening weekend of the season, despite playing the final half an hour against 10 men after Ezri Konsa’s red card for Aston Villa.

Liverpool, by contrast, began their Premier League campaign with a home victory over Bournemouth, and Arne Slot’s team should have too much firepower for their hosts in what promises to be an entertaining contest at St James’ Park on Monday.

Why We’re Backing Liverpool Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 9/5 with BOYLE Sports

Liverpool were at their fluent best going forward against Bournemouth and with such attacking talents at their disposal, the Reds should fire again.
Liverpool scored 44 goals in 19 away matches last term, and have added firepower to their squad in the summer and that should further improve their attacking output.
Arne Slot’s team looked open at the back versus Bournemouth with the Cherries carving through them on several occasions. With an unsettled back four and an injury to Jeremie Frimpong, they look likely to concede plenty of chances once more.
Newcastle bagged 40 goals in 19 home matches last season, and backing over 2.5 goals would have paid dividends in four of the last five matches between this pair, while Liverpool have won four of their previous six matches against the Magpies.

Why We’re Backing Mohamed Salah First Goalscorer @ 5/1 with Ladbrokes

Salah scored 29 goals in 38 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last season.
The forward will have plenty of service from the Liverpool squad with Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike settling into life at the Reds quickly.
Newcastle are unable to call upon star striker Alexander Isak but remain a strong team following a fifth-place finish last season, however, the reigning champions should have too much for their hosts.

The Magpies conceded 20 goals in 19 home matches last season.
Newcastle lost five out of 19 home matches in the last campaign.

Liverpool Form/Stats

Liverpool lost only three of 19 away Premier League matches last season.
12 of Liverpool’s last 19 away games have gone over 2.5 goals.
Liverpool have won five of their last seven matches at St James’ Park in the Premier League.

Player to Watch

Mohamed Salah scored for fun at Liverpool last season and Arne Slot needs the 33-year-old to produce the goods again this campaign.

New signings have joined Salah in the forward line but the onus will be on the Egyptian once more to lead the attack as the Reds look to retain their title.

Salah will be expected to score and assist aplenty for Liverpool and it will be interesting to see if he can fire them to the title once more.
