Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 18 Premier League games against Newcastle (W13 D5), since a 2-0 away loss in December 2015.<\/p>\n
Newcastle have failed to win any of their last 29 Premier League away games against Liverpool (D5 L24), their joint-longest winless run against an opponent in their league history (also 29 at Man Utd between 1973 and 2012).<\/p>\n
Liverpool are looking to complete the Premier League double over Newcastle for the 12th time \u2013 it would be the most they\u2019ve done so against a specific opponent in the competition (currently 11, joint with West Ham).<\/p>\n
Liverpool are winless in their last five Premier League games (D4 L1), last having a longer run in a single season between November and January in 2002-03 (11 under G\u00e9rard Houllier). Indeed, Liverpool could fail to win each of their opening six league fixtures of a calendar year for the first time since 1954 (first 10) \u2013 the last year in which they were relegated.<\/p>\n
Since beating Bournemouth 4-2 on the opening weekend, Liverpool haven\u2019t scored more than twice in any of their last 10 Premier League home games. They\u2019re averaging just 1.45 goals per game at Anfield this term, their lowest in a campaign since 2011-12 (1.26).<\/p>\n
Only Sunderland (7) and Wolves (7) have failed to score in more Premier League away games than Newcastle this season (6). 70% of the Magpies away goals this term (7\/10) have come in their two wins on the road (4-1 v Everton, 3-1 v Burnley).<\/p>\n
No side has scored more goals in the final 15 minutes of Premier League games this season than Liverpool (13), while only Bournemouth (13) have conceded more in this time frame than Newcastle (12).<\/p>\n
Against no side has Liverpool\u2019s Mohamed Salah been involved in more Premier League goals than he has against Newcastle (19 \u2013 10 goals, 9 assists). An assist in this match will see him become the first player in Premier League history record double figures for both goals and assists against an opponent.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s Dominik Szoboszlai has had more shots from outside the box than any other player in the Premier League this season (33), while he\u2019s also had the highest percentage from distance among all players to have at least 25 attempts (73% – 33\/45).<\/p>\n
Newcastle\u2019s Bruno Guimar\u00e3es has made more defensive line breaking passes than any other player in the Premier League this season (35). Meanwhile, only Granit Xhaka has made more line breaking passes that have led to a goal (8) than the Magpies captain (6).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 18 Premier League games against Newcastle (W13 D5), since a 2-0 away…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-445494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
