Premier League champions Liverpool are about to embark on a journey north of the border to challenge English side Newcastle in the "fast period". In their last match, Liverpool beat Manchester City and won 7 consecutive matches in all competitions, gaining momentum. Newcastle, on the other hand, had a recent rebound, but then lost two consecutive points, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the imposing Liverpool, who have a high likelihood of winning on the road.
Although Newcastle has become a new generation of giants with the backing of Saudi Arabia's sovereign fund, there is still a gap between its overall strength and that of its competitors. The previous victory over Chelsea in the EFL Cup was due to the opponent's substitute lineup. However, the weakness of the Magpies is their inconsistent performance. They won against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, but lost at home to Wes and Salty Eggs. In Crystal Palace they failed to win against a relegated team. Against a strong opponent like Liverpool, they will be sure to give it their all.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are gaining momentum. In their last 16 matches, they have won 15 and drawn 1, including victories against the Europa League and the Premier League. They have also beaten Real Madrid and Manchester City by 2-0 scores, highlighting the strength of the champions. Scorer Mohamed Salah has been a frequent contributor, while another striker, Gap, has also been impressive, scoring six goals in his last seven matches, including against Real Madrid and Manchester City. With the Reds' strong forward line and eight recent away wins, breaking down Newcastle's defense doesn't seem to be a difficult task. In addition, Liverpool have won all of their last six matches, including three on the road, and this battle will be a reflection of their strong counter-attack.
