Newcastle seeks change at home
Newcastle has been promoted from the relegation zone to the ninth place in the league after four consecutive wins, and the players have no worries, and will try to show their strength in the home game, and no longer be conservative for the sake of grabbing points. Faced with Liverpool's fast attack, Newcastle may be difficult to resist, the past eight meetings between the two teams, Liverpool has six times the first half lead, this campaign half-time away win is expected.
City seek narrow away win
Manchester City will face Leeds United on the road tonight, they can't afford to lose, but they will have to face Real Madrid on the road in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals next week, so they may have some reservations in this game. City's away goals are not much, but against the solid defense of Leeds United, the goal difference is worth expecting.
Man City can't afford to lose the title
Manchester City is only one point ahead of Liverpool in the league, and the situation is that if they win all the remaining five rounds, they can defend their title successfully, so every point is crucial. However, City's narrow win over Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals is a sign that they are letting the tiger out of the bag, so they cannot afford to be careless again in the middle of next week.
Leeds United's defense is solid
Under the leadership of the new manager Marsh, the defensive ability of Leeds United has been significantly improved, with three wins and two draws in the last five league matches, conceding only four goals. Midfielder Gavin Ferris is back from injury, and with better tackling ability in the midfield, he is expected to withstand City's attack.
City's away goals are small
City's last five away games in the league have seen four of them start with a total of two goals or less, and with a big game on the horizon, this is a goal-scoring opportunity not to be missed.
